2001 YAMAHA RAPTOR 660R. THE 2001 RAPTOR TRANSMISSION HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FOURTH GEAR DOGS. THE 2001 TRANNY IS WEAK AND YAMAHA WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO JUST ABOUT EVERY 2001 RAPTOR OWNER THAT I KNOW. *NM
2001 YAMAHA RAPTORTRANSMISSION FAILURE, TRANSMISSION WILL LOCK UP WHEN UNDER A LOAD IN 2ND GEAR.. COMPLETELY LOCKING UP THE BACK TIRES RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE CRASH SITUATION.. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY 2001 YAMAHA RAPTOR, FIRST TIME WAS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH OF 01, FAILED MAY OF 01. MINE FAILED BEFORE THE UPDATED PARTS WERE AVAIALABLE FROM YAMAHA.. MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN IN JUNE OF 05. I CALLED YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION AND MY LOCAL DEALER, BOTH SAID THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF A KNOWN PROBLEM OR A SAFETY CONCERN RELATED TO THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I FEEL THAT A PROBLEM THAT WILL CAUSE YOU TO GO INTO A UNCONTROLLED SKID AT APRX 30 M
2001 YAMAHA YZF600-R6 MOTORCYCLE OFTEN LEAKING ON MOTORCYCLE SWINGARM, CHAIN, AND SHOCK. DISCOLORED ALUMINUM PARTS AND WAS FORCED TO REPLACE THE CHAIN DUE TO THE METAL BEING EATEN AWAY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT YAMAHA USA WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE. THE BIKE WAS CHECKED AT THE DEALER FOR POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOT ANYTHING WRONG FUNCTIONALLY.*AK
I HAVE A 2001 YAMAHA RAPTOR (ATV). I KNOW YAMAHA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY FIXED IT FOR 2002. EVERY 2001 RAPTOR THAT I KNOW OF HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN. I WAS RIDING MY ATV WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CLUNG, MY CHAIN BROKE AND I WENT OVER THE HANDLE BARS. THE TRANSMISSION HAD LOCKED UP. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2001 AND I FEEL THAT YAMAHA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIRING IT IN THE WAY OF A RECALL. THEY KNOW THEY MADE A MISTAKE AND NOW NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. MY ATV HAS VERY LOW HOURS ON IT BECAUSE OF NO TIME TO RIDE. I KNOW SOME FRIENDS THAT THIS HAPPENED TO IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AFTER THE PURCHASE.*AK
