Example complaints
Body and structure: “Frame cracked along factory weld on the right side inside/outside vertical and lower horizontal. The motorcycle has never been dropped or crashed and passed maryland state safety inspection yesterday. When washing the bike today, I noticed a linear crack that ran vertically along the weld on the right side of the frame below the tank. No wrecks, excessive stress or temperature change preceded crack. The bike had only made a 3 mile trip from the inspection station to my home when I noticed the crack. …”
NHTSA complaint #10849874, filed 2016-03, 17,500 milesElectrical system: “Due to manufacturer design the magnets on the stator fly wheel became compromised. The result is a failed charging system. Possible internal motor damage as well. I was on the freeway when I smelled the components burning up and my seat became very hot.”
NHTSA complaint #11325720, filed 2020-05, 65,000 milesEngine: “While turning left through a city intersection the engine died forcing me to push motorcycle through remainder of turn to avoid a collision with approaching traffic. Although the mileage/time on my particular vehicle is out of factory warranty, a small amount of research shows this to be a common issue with Yamaha FZ1, fz8, & 2004-2006 Yamaha r1 (same engine configuration). Also the manufacturer has released a redesigned component to address this situation.”
