What owners report
BROKE SPOKE ON REAR WHEEL. *TR
LOSS OF HEADLAMP LIGHT DUE TO FAULTY/INFERIOR WIRING/CONNECTORS GOING TO THE MAIN BULBS IN THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY. THE HEADLAMP HARNESS WAS GRAY IN COLOR FROM OVERHEATING AND THE CONNECTORS TO THE BULBS HAD MELTED. WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY WITH THE SAME PART # AS THE ORIGINAL WIRING HARNESS. THIS REPRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD DAY OR NIGHT AS MOTORCYCLE HEADLAMPS ARE A SIGNIFICANT FACTOR IN DAYTIME VISIBILITY OF THE MOTORCYCLE, AND THE HAZARDS OF LOSING HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION DURING NIGHTTIME RIDING ARE OBVIOUS AND MANY. *TR
DEFECTIVE HEAD LIGHT HARNESS. MELTED WIRING TO LAMP CONNECTION CASING LOSS OF HEADLIGHT(JUST ONE THANK GOD) DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING. APPEARS YAMAHA IS USING DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT LAMP CONNECTORS THAT MELT EVENTUALLY CAUSING LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS. PLEASE SEE THE BELOW THREAD FOR FURTHER INFO: HTTP://WWW.YAMAHASUPERTENERE.COM/INDEX.PHP?TOPIC=2707.600 CHECK YOUR CONNECTORS REGULARLY IF YOU HAVE THIS MODEL BIKE! *TR
SPOKES IN THE REAR WHEEL CONTINUOUSLY GETTING LOOSE TO THE POINT THE SPOKE NIPPLE FALLS OUT AND THE SPOKE IS SENT FLAPPING AGAINST THE SWINGARM OR COMPLETELY OUT OF THE WHEEL. I HAD THIS ISSUE FOR THE ENTIRE FIRST 14 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. MANY TIMES A SPOKE WAS LOOSE AFTER A SHORT PERIOD. THE MOST RECENT CHECK REVEALED 10 SPOKES LOOSE AT ONE TIME RENDERING THE WHEEL UN-TRUE. I HAD TO REMOVE THE WHEEL AND CARRY TO A WHEEL SPECIALIST TO GET THE WHEEL BACK TRUE. YAMAHA WAS NO HELP WHAT SO EVER. THE MOTORCYCLE IS OUT OF THE 12 MONTH WARRANTY. I KNOW OF AT LEAST 10 OTHER CASES ON A INTERNET FORUM(WWW.YAMAHASUPERTENERE.COM) WHERE THESE SPOKES WHEELS ARE GIVING PROBLEMS. OF COURSE YAMAHA SAYS THERE
TWO REAR WHEEL SPOKE NIPPLES FOUND TOTALLY LOOSE AND ABOUT TO FALL OFF. ONE SPOKE NIPPLE WAS SLIGHTLY LOOSE ON THE FRONT WHEEL. THIS MOTORCYCLE HAS MOSTLY STREET USE. *TR
