2007 Yamaha YZFR1 Vehicle speed control Problems

“2007 Yamaha yzf r-1: a distinctive and dangerous throttle lag that occurs in 2nd gear at 5500 RPM that lasts for 3~5 seconds. I have had a close call under heavy traffic conditions. This is a serious issue that could lead to injury or deaths. Yamaha customer support was called and I was told that model does that and that they had no fix for it.”

“2007 Yamaha yzf-r1, stalling issue. Was stopped at a red light with traffic in front and behind me. The light turned green, traffic started to move. I started to move forward. Traffic slowed down so I closed the throttle and pulled in the clutch , and the motorcycle died. This happened three times under the exact same circumstances.”

“On my 2007 Yamaha r1 motorcycle there is a significant lag' with the throttle response during normal operation at highway speeds. When in 2nd gear and steady at approximately 5500 rpms if attempting to accelerate , ie. To avoid something or someone, the throttle does not instantly respond when applied. This is very dangerous in my opinion ,and the dealer says that Yamaha is aware of the problem but does not have a solution.”

“I am experiencing throttle lag on my 2007 Yamaha yzf r-1 motorcycle. When I am in 2nd gear and at 48 MPH when I twist the throttle there is a delay in power delivery, and then all of a sudden it takes off. It only happens in that situation. It works fine in any other.”

“My 2007 Yamaha r1 1. The bike cuts off almost every time I come to a stop. It does not matter whether the bike is in neutral or in gear with the clutch pulled in. It died approximately. 15-20 times on my ride. 2. If I blip/rev the bike in neutral or while in gear with the clutch pulled in, the bike shuts of as well. 3. I was merging on the freeway in second gear and when I went to speed up, the bike hesitated for about 3-4 seconds and then very slowly picked up. I was almost hit by the car behind me. …”
