Consumer Description
THE FRONT FENDER ON MY 2001 YAMAHA V-STAR CLASSIC [XVS650AN(C)] STARTED MAKING A SQUEAKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT FENDER AREA. WHEN I STARTED LOOKING FOR THE REASON FOR THE NOISE I NOTICED THAT THE FENDER HAD DEVELOPED A CRACK ON THE RIGHT SIDE RIGHT BEHIND THE SHOCK. I'M SURE THAT THE CRACK OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THE VIBRATION OF THE FRONT FENDER DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. *JB
