Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 YAMAHA V-STAR 1100 CLASSIC. MY MOTORCYCLE IS EXPERIENCING WHAT APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH STARTERS FOR THIS MOTORCYCLE MODEL. SINCE THE MOTORCYCLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, YAMAHA WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. JUDGING FROM THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON THE 1100 V-STAR 1100 FORUM, THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT HAS YET TO BE ADDRESSED BY YAMAHA. MY MOTORCYCLE IS DISPLAYING THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT INDICATE A FAULTY STARTER, I.E "TWISTED CONNECTOR BOLTS". IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN FORCE YAMAHA TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE?
