“2007 Yamaha r1, riding down the local highway with some friends and the right rear set cracked and as it broke free from the bike, my foot hit the ground doing about 65 MPH , causing me to shatter 1 toe with an open fracture, break another in half and fracture the tip of that toe. The rearset was cracked at the upper most leg right where it connects to the motorcycles frame. …”
NHTSA complaint #10186150, filed 2007-03, 4,946 miles“2007 Yamaha r1, throttle lagged at around 5500 rpms. No response for a few seconds. Can cause serious problems when need to speed up or take off before being ran over a SUV or in an intersection or overtaking another vehicle. Foot peg bracket broken. Was parking the bike when I put some pressure on the foot peg, it broke and myself and the bike went down. No injuries, just damages which I want to be reimbursed by Yamaha.... But it could be fatal in case of riding in traffic. …”
NHTSA complaint #10187259, filed 2007-04, 82 miles“I have recently purchased the 2007 Yamaha YZFR1 and have some concerns regarding the safety of this vehicle. First off I would like to report the issue of a flat spot in acceleration. When the vehicle is at approximately 5500 RPM and throttle is applied there is a delay in acceleration lasting between 3-5 seconds. This delay could cause injury or possible death due to accidents occurring when acceleration in this range is necessary. The second issue is with the rear set (foot pegs). Although this has not occurred on my vehicle, there have been cases of the set cracking and breaking. …”
NHTSA complaint #10186550, filed 2007-03, 5 miles“(1) throttle lag on 2007 Yamaha r1, try to accelerate in 2nd gear at 5500 RPM's and the bike doesn't move, then all of the sudden a violent jerk and the bike is now violently acceleration. (2) I was in traffic trying to pass a vehicle and almost got run over due to the lag. There is no fixed report, but the european bikes don't have this so a new ecu would fix it. Or a reflash of the ecu. (3) the rearset (aka footpeg brackets) are breaking off when weight is applied. Standing up on the bike or just putting pressure on them will cause them to snap. …”
