“Stuck valves on a 2007 Yamaha road star with only 800 miles on it. I only rode it for 6 days. Dealer put 350 miles on it before my purchase. Also, hard crone pipes. From my investigation after the fact, road star clinic web site), this was a common problem since the earlier years of the road star. Now I wait around with no motorcycle for the dealer to get around to fixing it.”
NHTSA complaint #10193554, filed 2007-06, 560 miles“2nd reported occurence - motorcycle loss power on rear cylinder again. Valve stuck open causing bike to almost stop on route 2 in heavy traffic. Yamaha refusing to fix properly. Just reaming the valve guides again. Only put 4,000 miles on since repaired last time. Customer service feels this is acceptable. Apparently Yamaha knows they have this issue with the roadstar. But feels the few that contract this issue they can bandaid until either it's out of warranty. Or the owner gets discouraged enough to sell the vehicle.”
