“Since my 2005 Yamaha road star had 3000-3500 miles on it, it has developed a severe loss of compression in it's rear cylinder. This causes a safety hazard by not producing the appropriate acceleration of speed in crucial situations. An example would be while accelerating when merging onto a highway. The motorcycle oftentimes cannot produce the speed required to safely enter into a moving traffic lane. I fear being hit or killed in a traffic accident because of it, possibly not being able to accelerate quickly enough out of another motorist's way. …”
NHTSA complaint #10166025, filed 2006-08, 3,250 miles“The rear cylinder valves are sticking open when my 2005 Yamaha roadstar is warming up. It happens very unexpectedly and without warning causing a loss of power. This loss of power has left me sitting along a very busy highway with a narrow shoulder as well as almost caused me to drop the bike during a left hand turn in front of oncoming traffic. I spoke with the local dealership but they claimed to never heard of such a problem while it is widely known among roadstar riders that it is a common problem. It is just a matter of time before someone is injured by this.”
