What owners report
THE FUEL FILTER ASSEMBLY TO THE FRONT OF THE TANK WILL RELEASE THE INNER SLEEVE AT THE ELBOW SPILLING FUEL ALL OVER MOTOR. IF MOTOR IS HOT, CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST. I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE JUST STARTED RIDING WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME.
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 YAMAHA ROAD STAR WARRIOR MOTORCYCLE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE NEEDLE ON THE GAUGE BEGAN SWINGING BACK AND FORTH, THEN THE MOTORCYCLE SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE MOTORCYCLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS RELATED TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE STARTER WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THE CONTACT WAS ONLY ABLE TO RESTART THE MOTORCYCLE BY USING A PORTABLE BATTERY. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15000.
I HAVE A YAMAHA ROADSTAR WARRIOR MOTORCYCLE AND THE RECALL (ID# 45939 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:MOUNTING) WAS PERFORMED. THIS WAS TO PREVENT THE TANK FROM CRACKING AT THE MOUNTING BRACKET. MY TANK IS NOW LEAKING GAS FROM THAT MOUNTING BRACKET. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY CALLED YAMAHA USA AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT EITHER THE RECALL DID NOT WORK OR THAT THE TANK STARTED TO CRACK BEFORE THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED AND FINALLY GREW BIG ENOUGH TO START LEAKING GAS. YOUR HELP RESOLVING THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR
WHILE RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE DOWN THE HWY IT SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING WHILE IN THE CENTER LANE OF TRAFFIC I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO ENGINE RUNNING. THE MOTORCYCLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND IT HAD TO GET TOWED. THE DEFECTIVE PART IS CALLED A PICK UP SENSOR THE PART# IS 5PX-81670-00-00 AND A GASKET 5PX15451-00-00. *NM
1) CODE 12, CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. MOTORCYCLE LOSES ALL POWER AT ANY SPEED. MOTORCYCLE INOPERATIVE. NO PRIOR INDICATION OR WARNING. 2) THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. TWICE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS EXCEEDING 80 MPH. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A FATALITY AND NEEDS TO BE DEEMED AS A "RECALL". 3) I REPLACED THE PART AT MY EXPENSE 3 TIMES. *NM
