“The fuel filter assembly to the front of the tank will release the inner sleeve at the elbow spilling fuel all over motor. If motor is hot, can result in fire and has happened in the past. I was fortunate to have just started riding when it happened to me.”
NHTSA complaint #11219092, filed 2019-06, 28,000 miles“I have a Yamaha roadstar warrior motorcycle and the recall (id# 45939 - fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:mounting) was performed. This was to prevent the tank from cracking at the mounting bracket. My tank is now leaking gas from that mounting bracket. I took it to the dealer, they called Yamaha USA and they said they would not fix the problem. It is obvious that either the recall did not work or that the tank started to crack before the recall was performed and finally grew big enough to start leaking gas. Your help resolving this would be greatly appreciated.”
NHTSA complaint #10255342, filed 2009-01, 27,450 miles“I own a 2002 Yamaha Road Star Warrior. The fuel quick disconnects are in my opinion, designed & engineered very poorly. They vibrate off the seat. They have never leaked fuel, the locking tab makes it stay locked so it won't leak. However, when it is against the locking tab, it moves off its seat about 3/16 and results in no fuel flow from the upper tank to the lower tank where the electric fuel pump is. That results in a stall situation. I was sitting at a red light waiting for it to turn green, I started out as I always do. I was at 8 MPH & the bike stalled out. …”
