The motorcycle'srear wheel locked up when the flywheel disengaged causing the consumer to skid while turning the corner.*ph consumer received call from dealer to inform about a recall on transmission; however, parts are not available and on back order.*la
The forward horn bracket on my 2003 yamaha road star has regularly broken at 5000 mile intervals. I took one and beefed it up with welded-in rod and angled brackets but it still only lasted 15000 miles. My dealer says they have reported this problem to yamaha, but when i call the customer service line, they claim to have no knowledge of this problem. I also installed an external oil cooler on the bike and had that bracket break (i feel due to the extreme vibrations inherent in the bike)! now, on the new roadliner, they have addressed these problems, but without confirming that they exist.

I am complaining about the amount of time it is taking for yamaha motorcycle corp. To provide the parts for my motorcycle transmission recall (2003 road star).it has a twelve month unlimited mileage warranty and the bike is not supposed to be ridden until it is fixed.it is my primary means of commute to and from work.can something be done about the recall parts time line?my dealer suggested it was probably ok to continue riding the bike even though the recall said not to.what is the legal ramifications if i continue to ride?my warranty could expire before the bike is even fixed.the consumer is getting a very bad end of the stick deal on this one.how can i find out exactly what is wrong with the product?

Passing on a freeway and lost 5th gear. Could have had serious accident. This is a well known issue and problem that yamaha is aware of and they left customers out to dry.or should i say die!! this will cost us around 4,000 to fix.

Riding a 2003 yamaha roadstar, rider and a passenger,on 57n (so. California), cruising at 70 mph in fifth gear, began losing speed and bike started to rev as if in neutral.downshifted to 4th, normal, up-shift to 5th, no power, bike acting as if in neutral.pulled off freeway.examined for anything obviously broken but found nothing wrong. Drove motorcycle to repair shop when it has been ever since. Repair shop has dismantled transmission from engine.pinion gear that holds 5th gear in place has sheared off causing significant damage to other engine/tranny parts.broken parts could have caused engine to lock-up causing a potentially life threatening accident.yamaha contacted on two occasions and was told that the motorcycle was out of warranty, recall had been performed and this was not their problem. Major gear that failed has been superseded and replaced with a new part number!cost to repair the damage will be in excess of $4000.00another local 2003 roadstar owner/rider had the same exact experience one week later, also at 70 mph also on a local social freeway- nhtsa complaint filed as well.one internet forum indicate at least 7 additional instances where 5th gear has failed.
On 1/17/04 i brought the affected vehicle in for repairs associated with the voluntary recall announced on 1/09/04.more than 60 days have elapsed and the repairs haven't been started yet because yamaha has not shipped the parts.additionally there is no projected date for the parts to arrive.
I owned a yamaha road star silverado 1600 year 2003. I have now 52000 klm only. Last week wile a was riding at 110klm per hour on the fifth gear as usual transmission came on neutral state, when i released the transmission was broken in fifth gear. So i ended my ride in fourth gear as the result at least 3000.00 dollars in repairs, or more at yamaha shop.
