Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Intermittentlay the vehicle stalls when idling, it also can rise to 3500rpm without any user input. This leads to dangerous behavior when approaching or departing an intersection.”

NHTSA complaint #10991569, filed 2017-05, 13,000 miles

“2013 Yamaha super tenere. Engine/idle speed varies and/or engine dies. Sometimes it speeds up (to as much as 4000 RPM) without any rider input (dangerous) and if the clutch is activated simultaneously it won't idle and engine dies. Also difficulty starting. Seems to happen more often in cooler temperatures vs warm. Turning off the ignition then turning it back on sometimes temporally seems to reset things (may take several attempts). It will run at cruise speeds but once speed is reduced the problems occur. A fault code of 60 once came up on the display. …”
