2002 YAMAHA ROAD STAR TRANSMISSION RECALL. MY BIKE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE 1/27/04 WAITING FOR A TRANSMISSION KIT. I AM BEING TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO KITS AVAILABLE AND THEY MIGHT GET PARTS THE MIDDLE TO LATE APRIL, 04. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! I HAVE ONLY 4,000 MILES ON THIS BIKE PURCHASED IN JUNE '02. YAMAHA SHOULD EITHER HAVE TO FIX MY BIKE ASAP OR BUY IT BACK AT THE ORIGINAL PRICE. *AK
