Example complaints
Body and structure: “I own an early 2007 FZ1 motorcycle. The machine is in mint condition with only 15,000 miles. On february 25th 2016 I noticed a large crack in the frame weld on the right side. It starts at the bottom and climbs the weld over 2 inches, cleanly through to the other side. For the past month I have been stressing day-in and day-out trying to solve this nightmare. I've brought the machine to my local authorized dealer and submitted a repair order only to get a quote of $3500 to replace the frame. …”
NHTSA complaint #10850033, filed 2016-03, 15,000 milesElectrical system: “It is common knowledge that the rotor assembly on similar year FZ1, and r1 is so faulty, that Yamaha redesigned the part and began selling it. It is irresponsible of them to not issue a recall on such a widespread failure costing countless owners hundreds if not thousands of dollars.”
NHTSA complaint #11079703, filed 2018-03, 45,000 milesOther or unknown: “My dom is 10/06. The frame is cracked on the right side where the 2 sections meet. Above the centerline of the clutch. The aluminum frame is not cracked but rather the weld joining the front section of the frame to the rear section of the frame is cracked down the centerline of the weld. This is a widespread problem affecting around 10% of 2006/2007 model years of the FZ1. Yamaha customer service tells me they have never heard of this problem. This crack is caused by a faulty robotic weld. Which was changed for the 2008 model year. I do not know the date that the fracture happened. …”
NHTSA complaint #10783092, filed 2015-10, 32,000 milesFuel system: “2007 Yamaha FZ1, build date 12/2006, experienced a significant weld failure in the frame. Right side of frame, on the weld seam below the fuel tank. This is a well known and established issue for the first year and early production of the second year for this generation of this motorcycle.”
