Example complaints

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

“2001 Yamaha yzf600-r6 motorcycle often leaking on motorcycle swingarm, chain, and shock. Discolored aluminum parts and was forced to replace the chain due to the metal being eaten away. This has been an ongoing problem that Yamaha USA would not acknowledge. The bike was checked at the dealer for possible problems and I was told that there was not anything wrong functionally.”
