“I have a 2005 Yamaha road star. Since the purchase of this bike I have had problems with sticking valves on the rear cylinder. It's the exhaust valve. When this happened it was a dangerous ride. Heavy traffic with no where to go. Seems Yamaha is aware of this situation. It's dangerous to ride. Power goes to nothing and the bike stalls during shifting.”
