What owners report
RODE BIKE ABOUT 3 HOURS PRIOR WITH NO INDICATION OF PROBLEM. AFTER PARKED THE 3 HOURS I HEARD A LOUD WHINE/HOWL COMING FROM MIDDLE OF BIKE. DEALER MECHANIC DISCOVERED MIDDLE DRIVE YOKE JUST ABOUT SHEARED OFF THE SHAFT. VISUAL INSPECTION SHOWS ABOUT 50% OR MORE SHEARED OFF. FROM THE LIST IT APPEARS TO BE A TREND.
STARTER WHEN TRYING TO START WOULD NOT TURN OVER MOTOR, BUT THE STARTER WOULD TURN OVER. I HAVE FOUND THAT YAMAHA KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE IT HAS HAPPENED TO ANYONE THAT OWNS A YAMAHA VSTAR, 650CC AND 1100CC, THE REPAIR BILL COST BETWEEN $900.00 TO $1,200 , AND EVEN AFTER REPAIRS BYE EVEN DEALERS YOU CAN HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE AGAIN. I KNOW ONE MAN THAT HAD IT HAPPEN 3 TIMES,NOW HE IS SELLING THE BIKE AFTER IT'S FIXED AGAIN, HELP US PLEASE. *TR
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
PURCHASED MOTORCYCLE 5/2011 THREE MONTHS LATER IT STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE WHEN DECELERATING. ITS MAKES THIS NOISE WHEN MOTORCYCLE IS MOVING BUT ENGINE IS NOT UNDER LOAD. I TOOK THE BIKE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND BOTH OF THEM SAID IT WAS THE MIDDLE GEAR SET. THE REPAIR COST WAS $2300. THIS IS CRAZY. THREE MONTHS RIDING FOR $2300. I JUST BOUGHT IT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE.IT SEEMS THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE BIKES BUT NOBODY IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THIS. PLEASE HELP!!! *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 YAMAHA XVS-1100 V-STAR SILVERADO MOTORCYCLE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN A BOLT FRACTURED FROM THE MIDDLE GEAR DRIVE SHAFT AND BEGAN RATTLING AROUND INSIDE THE YOKE OF THE U-JOINT AS THE BOLT LODGED INSIDE THE YOKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED YAMAHA DEALER AND THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADVISED HIM THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE AND THAT THE REPAIRS WERE ENTIRELY TOO COSTLY TO REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE REPAIRED THE VEHICLE HIMSELF AND REPLACED THE MIDDLE GEAR SHAFT, U-JOINT, YOKE AND CASKETS AT A COST OF $800. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED TO REPORT THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
