Example complaints

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

“I have a 2001 road star silveraldo with 28000 miles. I changed my own oil at least every 3000 miles, along with filter. Every time I drain the iol I find brass and aluminum in the bottom of the drain pan. There has also been a knock when I first start the bike, and occasionally during a long run. During the first season I took the bike back to the dealer several times due to the knock and tapping. The first winter Yamaha replaced 2 hydraulic lifters because they would not hold a charge. This did not cure the metal in the oil. The next winter Yamaha sent a rep. …”
