Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Spokes in the rear wheel continuously getting loose to the point the spoke nipple falls out and the spoke is sent flapping against the swingarm or completely out of the wheel. I had this issue for the entire first 14 months of ownership. Many times a spoke was loose after a short period. The most recent check revealed 10 spokes loose at one time rendering the wheel un-true. I had to remove the wheel and carry to a wheel specialist to get the wheel back true. Yamaha was no help what so ever. The motorcycle is out of the 12 month warranty. …”
