Consumer Description

VERY CONCERNED OVER THE LARGE NUMBER OF TRANSMISSION FAILURES SEEN IN YAMAHA ROAD STAR MOTORCYCLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 3/00 AND 8/01. THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN TRACKED INDEPENDENTLY BY ROAD STAR OWNERS ON THE DELPHI ROAD STAR RIDERS INTERNET FORUM FOR THE PAST YEAR OR SO. I OWN A 2000 ROAD STAR THAT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 3/00, AND RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE REGULARLY AND FOR LONG DISTANCES AND EXTENDED TRIPS. SUCH A FAILURE COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH, AS THE REAR WHEEL LOCKS-UP UPON TRANSMISSION FAILURE CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.*AK
