Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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 miles“The crank position sensor on my 2006 Yamaha xv1700 (warrior) began to fail. This caused erratic hesitation during acceleration to the point of becoming inoperable. Had it failed completely, my engine would have just died during operation, which could have very likely resulted in an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #10159291, filed 2006-06, 2,153 miles“I have a 2006 Yamaha stratoliner (s) with 2346 miles. The problem I am having is that for no apparent reason when coming to a stop the bike just quits running. This has happened to me three times now. Which as you can guess could be deadly at an intersection. The bike has been to the dealer and they have contacted Yamaha but Yamaha claims nothing is wrong and that they have never heard of this happening. This is a lie. In different forums on the internet it is a wide topic and Yamaha has been notified by owners and tech support from the dealerships.”
NHTSA complaint #10178621, filed 2007-01, 2,253 miles“I was riding home from cincinnati on my 2005 Yamaha road star going westbound on interstate 74. I was in the process of passing another vehicle when my v-twin engine instantly lost power. The semi in the passing lane behind me had to lock up his brakes causing all westbound traffic to come to a stand still. As luck would have it, nobody got hurt this time. I had the bike towed home so I could inspect why the sudden loss of power. After removing rear cylinder head, I found sludge on one of the exhaust valves and the valve was sticking. …”
NHTSA complaint #10166258, filed 2006-08, 1,050 miles“Engine stalled and cut off at ~25 MPH three times when decelerating in mar 2008 (~5,500 miles), oct 2009 (~11,500 miles), and apr 2011(~15,200 miles), jeopardizing the operator's safety. Per Yamaha/star roadliner owners blog this is a common problem with this model and requires manual upward adjustment of engine idle RPM.”
