ON MARCH 21ST OF 2012, AROUND 2PM, I LEFT MY HOUSE TO HEAD TO WORK. WHEN I APPROACHED THE STOP LIGHT (RED) RIGHT OFF MCKINLEY BRIDGE ON MISSOURI SIDE, I DOWN SHIFTED FROM 4TH TO 3RD GEAR WHEN I NOTICED THE BIKE LUNGED FORWARD A BIT AND STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE THE BELT IS NOT GRABBING ONTO THE SPROCKET OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS ALOT OF ROADLINER'S AND STRATOLINERS XV1900'S HAS THIS PROBLEM.

ALMOST DIED TODAY. MY BIKE STALLED FOR THE 17TH TIME AND AS I STALLED, I STOPPED HARD BECAUSE OF THE JOLT OF THE STALL AND MY BAD BACK COULDN'T HANDLE THE WEIGHT BEING OFF BALANCE SO I HAD TO LAY THE BIKE DOWN. AS I WAS FALLING TO THE GROUND, ANOTHER CAR LOCKED UP HER BRAKES TO AVOID KILLING ME IN THE LANE TO THE LEFT. THE BIKE ROUTINELY STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND I AM HOPING THE YAMAHA CORP WILL DO THE HONORABLE THING AND FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET KILLED. I REFUSE TO RIDE ANYMORE AND WILL NOT SELL THE DEATH TRAP TO ANYONE ELSE…

WHEN I TURNED ON THE KEY MY SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS CYCLES FROM ZERO TO MAXIMUM BACK TO ZERO ONE TIME. PERIODICALLY, ONE OF MY INDICATORS (USUALLY THE SPEEDOMETER) DOES NOT CYCLE AND THEN DOES NOT WORK DURING THE VEHICLE OPERATION. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS, BUT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. I REMOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO CHECK THE WIRING FOR SHORTS AND DID NOT READILY DETECT ANY THOUGH I DID NOTICE THE WIRING HARNESS IS VERY TIGHT JUST IN FRONT OF THE FUEL TANK -- I'M SURE VIBRATION FROM VEHICLE OPERATION PUTS STRESS…
