Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My complaint is the lack of notification of maintenance and lubrication of the drive shaft coupler can cause it to seize resulting in injury or death. That is the legal basis for my complaint. The manufacturer does not identify this part for maintenance in the owners, shop or maintenance manuals concerning the following models: xvs 650 & xvs1100. I feel it is necessary that each owner be afforded the opportunity for a one time free inspection by Yamaha.”
