Consumer Description

MY YEAR 2000 YAMAHA 650 V-STAR MAKES A WHINE WHEN I SHIFT INTO 5TH GEAR. IT HAS BEEN RELATED TO ME AS A DEFINITE SAFTEY ISSUE AS POSSIBLY CAUSING THE BIKE TO LOCK UP IN 5TH GEAR. I HAVE CALLED ONE DEALER WHERE I KNOW THE SERVICE MANAGER TO ASK IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. HE CALLED YAMAHA FOR ME AND TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF LUCK. I WOULD LIKE TO GO ON RECORD WITH THIS ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY SEEK SOME REMEDY AS IT HAS BEEN WIDELY DOCUMENTED ON THE ISRA FORUM. I AM CONCERNED FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS MY PASSENGERS. PLEASE HELP. *AK
