What owners report
CAMPAIGN 014-550 "WIRE HARNESS TOO SHORT". "DEALER TO INSTALL JUMPER HARNESS". THIS WORK WAS PERFORMED BUT I HAVE AN INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHT ISSUE. DEALER & YAMAHA STATE "THEY CAN DO NOTHING UNLESS THE HEADLIGHT IS OUT WHEN THEY HAVE THE VEHICLE". I AM LEFT TO RIDE THIS BIKE WITH A HEADLIGHT THAT MAY OR MAY NOT OPERATE? UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. DEALER HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS AND NOW IS TELLING ME "I CAN COME PICK IT UP".
FRONT BRAKE LOCKED UP AND APPLYING ALSO CAUSED BRAKE LEVER TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE HANDLE BAR WHEN GOING OUT FOR FIRST RIDE THIS YEAR.
AFTER ONLY 7000 MILES THE CLUTCH BASKET CRACKED, BROKE, AND DEFECTED IN SPECTACULAR FASHION. THIS CAUSED THE GEARS TO SLIP, MORE DAMAGE TO BE DONE INTERNAL TO THE CLUTCH SYSTEM AND GREAT COST. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTED WHILE DRIVING. DURING ACCELERATION, THE MOTORCYCLE'S ENGINE WOULD REV THROUGH THE GEAR BUT NO ACCELERATION WAS EXPERIENCED. THIS CAUSED AN ALARMING CAUTION AS ATTEMPTING TO PASS VEHICLES, ACCELERATE THROUGH INTERSECTIONS, AND OTHERWISE MAINTAIN SPEEDS VERY DIFFICULT AND DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE PROPER AVOIDANCE OF SITUATIONS. TYPICALLY, A RIDER LIKE MYSELF CAN DETERMINE PROPER ACCELERATION AND TIMING TO AVOID THINGS LIKE OTHER VEHICLES, ROAD CONDITIONS, OR DANGEROUS SITUATIO
THIS IS THE SECOND STOCK CAM CHAIN TENSIONER REPLACEMENT THAT I HAVE HAD DONE ON THIS BIKE. THE REPAIR WAS DONE BY MALCOLM SMITH MOTORSPORTS IN RIVERSIDE CA. THE CCT FAILS. RESULTING IN A LOSE CAM CHAIN, CAUSING A LOT OF NOISE. IF THE CAM CHAIN SKIPS A TOOTH, IT CAN CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT, INJURY OR DEATH. THE NOISE COMES FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. IT IS REALLY LOUD AT START UP AND AT IDLE SPEED.
I WANNA SAY I LOVE THIS BIKE AND WILL CONTINUE DRIVING AND TRYING TO FIX IT.MY 2014 FZ09 HAS 5000 MILES ON IT AND WHEN I DOWN SHIFT IN TRAFFIC OR ANYWHERE THE BIKE DIES THE TIRE WILL SOMETIMES LOCK UP IF I DON'T CATCH THE PROBLEM IN TIME.. I'M TRYING TO GET OTHERS THAT ARE ON THE FZ FORUMS TO SHARE THERE SAME COMPLAINTS.. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT WILL LITERALLY JUST CUT OFF NO POWER POOF.. AND A REALLY BAD NOISE AND VIBRATION AROUND 3100 TO 4000 RPMS MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS FALLING APART.. OTHER THAN THAT I LOVE THE BIKE AND HOPE THE ISSUES GET FIXED AS THIS WILL BE 2017 THE NEXT GEN
