I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY 1997 ROYAL STAR TOUR DELUXE. IT WOULD OCCASIONALLY NOT MAKE CONTACT SO THE ENGINE WOULD START. GIGGLING THE KEY WOULD USUALLY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. ON THIS OCCASION I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER REFUELING AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT UNTIL I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS DOING ABOUT 70MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED. I STARTED MOVING TO THE OUTSIDE LANE AND TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I REACHED DOWN AND MOVED THE KEY AND IT RESTARTED, WHEN I LET GO OF THE KEY IT DIED AGAIN, SO I MOVED THE KEY AGAIN, THIS REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT FINALLY STAYED ON UNTIL I GOT HOME, I HAVE PARKED THE BIKE UNTIL I CAN GET ANOTHER SWITCH.

WHILE DRIVING A 1997 YAMAHA ROYAL STAR TOUR DELUXE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY QUITS, BUT ELECTRONIC REMAIN ON. STOPPING THE BIKE AND RESTARTING RESOLVES THE ISSUE.

THE HIGH POSSIBILITY FOR DANGER OCCURS WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS WHILE ON THE HIGHW
WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM VACATION, I EXPERIENCED TREAD LOSS ON THE REAR TIRE OF MY MOTORCYCLE. I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON HIGHWAY 95 (SOUTHWEST NEVADA). ABOUT 30 MILE NORTH OF BEATTY NV, I FELT A "BUMP" AND HEARD THE THUMP AND CLANK OF SOMETHING BOUNCING OFF THE INSIDE OF THE REAR FENDER. I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT AND COULD NOT LOCATE ANY PROBLEMS. I RESUMED MY TRIP AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME SOUND ABOUT 5 MILES LATER. I STOPPED TO INSPECT AGAIN AND THIS TIME DISCOVERED THAT 2 LARGE CHUNKS OF TREAD WERE MISSING OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE TIRE. EVERYONE WHO HAS SEEN IT DESCRIBES THE DAMAGE AS HAVING THE APPEARANCE OF A RETREAD TIRE, WHICH TO MY KNOWLEDGE, IT WASN'T. LUCKILY, THE TIRE CONTINUED
FAULT IGNITION SWITCH HAS AN INTERMITTENT CONNECTION. THIS CAUSES THE MOTORCYCLE TO LOSS POWER SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING. *NLM
REAR TIRE HAS PIN HOLES ON THE SIDEWALL. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED.*AK
