“I have a '05 midnight just hit 8200 miles on it. Yesterday I was on my way home cruising at about 80 MPH /3k on the tach. I experienced a couple of hesitations and the tach would jump up in RPM. I slowed down a bit and the problem went away. This morning coming into work I was cruising down the freeway again at 80 when it happened again, this time, I though it was popping, hesitating the tach was jumping around and the check engine light was flashing on and off. I was able to slow to 70 /2500 RPM and it went away. But as soon as I would take it back up to 80 it would happen again.”
NHTSA complaint #10163932, filed 2006-07, 75 miles“The vehicle being described is a 2005 Yamaha road star Warrior (motorcycle) (1) I was riding my motorcycle on I-90 w through south dakota. About 20 miles west of sioux falls the bike began to backfire and jerk violently at 2500 RPM. I eased up on the throttle and slowed down to about 60 MPH (the speed limit was 70 MPH). The bike acted fine as long as I kept going slow, so I decided to try and make it to the Yamaha shop in rapid city. (2) forty miles east of rapid city, the bike engine cut off without warning, causing loss of power in the rear wheel, which caused a drastic decrease in speed. …”
