THE 2007 YAMAHA R1, STALLS FOR NO REASON AT ALL AND IN 2ND GEAR AT 5500RPM THERE IS A HUGE LAG AND IT ALSO OCCURRS AT 50 MPH, AND WITH SPEEDO ERROR THAT IS USUALLY ASSOCIATED W/MOTORCYCLES, THAT MEANS THAT WERE ROUGHLY GOING ABOUT 45 MPH, WHICH IS THE EXPRESSWAY SPEEDS IN CALIFORNIA AND IF WE NEED TO ACCELERATE FOR ANY TYPE OF EMERGENCY SITUATION, IT TAKES THE BIKE 3-4 SECONDS BEFORE IT RESPONDS AND STARTS ACCELERATING.

THIS WAS A STARTLING EVENT, EVEN WHEN IT IS KNOWN TO HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE IN THE COURSE OF RIDING THERE WERE SO MANY OTHER FACTORS TO BE CONCERNED WITH, SUCH AS NOTING THE POSITION OF OTHER TRAFFIC, STEERING, ETC. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND WAS MOST DEFINITELY A DEFECT…
