Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When starting the motorcycle the engine coughed (backfired through the carburetor). Subsequent attempts to start the engine were unsuccessful because the starter would no longer engage. This left me stranded and was force to find alternate transportation home in order to pick up my truck & trailer to go back and pick up the motorcycle. Service manager at the Yamaha dealership stated that they see this problem quite often. The repair consists of applying locktite to a starter bolt and re-torqueing the bolt.”
