Owner report 10050641 · 2003-12-17 (December 17, 2003)
AFTER ONLY 12,000 MILES OF RIDING THE VEHICLE, THE SECOND GEAR IN THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP OUT. YAMAHA DENIES ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS HAPPENING TO ANY OTHER VEHICLE, AND EXPECTS THE OWNER TO COVER THE COST OF PARTS AND LABOR. YAMAHA STATES IT IS THE OWNERS FAULT, BUT EVER OTHER OWNER THAT HAS ABOUT 8,000 MILES ON THEIR VEHICLE EXPERIENCES THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

Reported: 2000-03-13 (March 13, 2000)
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES. THE SCREWS HOLDING THE SIDESTAND SWITCH CAN LOOSEN AND FALL OUT DUE TO ENGINE HEAT AND VIBRATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE SIDESTAND SWITCH WOULD NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY, SO IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE WITH THE SIDESTAND IN THE DOWN POSITION.
Consequence: THIS CONDITION WOULD INCREASE THE RISK THAT THE SIDESTAND COULD HIT THE GROUND DURING A TURN, WHICH COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SCREWS HOLDING THE SIDESTAND SWITCH.
