Example complaints
Transmission and drivetrain: “I was downshifting and heard a really load noise from the transmission. The noise is prevalent in 3 rd gear only when downshifting. It is worse as it can be heard when accelerating now. Only 3rd gear is effected. I cannot use 3rd gear at all at this time. The noise can be heard when riding the bike or standing near when driving by.”
NHTSA complaint #10455087, filed 2012-04, 19,200 milesEngine cooling: “My motorcycle engine stops running unexpectedly and without warning. It happens approximately every 50 miles or so. The worst consequence so far is that it made me fall to the pavement resulting in injuries to my knees, elbow and back. My bike continues to stall without warning and I have not been able to rectify this situation.”
NHTSA complaint #10399951, filed 2011-05, 1,850 milesElectrical system: “My 2006 Yamaha roadliner stalls almost every time I stop at a red light. It happens when I let up on the throttle and push in the clutch. My wife and I have almost been run over 20 or 30 times and almost turned the bike over many times because of this. I asked my Yamaha dealer to help me but they say there is no problem on the bike. It looks to me like the only way to fix this problem is to get rid of the bike and never buy another Yamaha.”
NHTSA complaint #10414932, filed 2011-07, 50 milesFuel system: “I have a 2006 Yamaha star stratoliner that stalls whenever I engage the clutch and downshift when approaching a stop creating a hazard at a busy intersection. Incident as been 2007 to present.”
