Consumer Description

ON THE WAY BACK FROM STURGIS, SD MY TRANSMISSION ON MY 2001 YAMAHA ROAD STAR 1600 LOCKED UP WITH MY WIFE AND I ON THE BIKE. IT LOCKED UP THE REAR TIRE. THE BIKE WOULD NOT MOVE. MY WIFE AND I WERE 12 HOURS FROM HOME AND HAD TO RENT A UHAUL TO GET THE BIKE HOME. MY EXTENTED WARRANTY PAID FOR ALL OF THE REAPIRS BUT THE CLUTCH. I THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST A FREAK THING AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT UNTIL 13 OTHERS THAT I KNOW OF LOCKED UP CAUSE ONE PERSON TO GET HURT REAL BAD. I KNOW MINE WAS REAPIRED RIGHT BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE RIDING A ROAD STAR IN THE WORLD. THANK JESUS THAT MY WIFE AND I WERE NOT HURT IN THE TRANNY LOCK UP. YAMAHA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. CAN YOU HELP WITH A RECALL OR SOMETHING? THANKS. *AK
