Consumer Description

I OWN A 2004 YAMAHA YZF-R1 (PURCHASED NEW). ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF MAY OF 2005 THE MOTORCYLE WOULD STALL ON ME WHEN THE BIKE WASN'T MOVING OR WHENEVER THE CLUTCH IS PULLED IN. BASICALLY THE BIKE'S IDLE WOULD DROP TO ABOUT 500 RPM, THE BIKE WOULD RUN REALLY ROUGH, AND IT WOULD STALL WHENEVER THE CLUTCH WAS PULLED IN OR WHEN THE SPEED WAS DECREASED TO BELOW 5 MPH. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN THE PROBLEM IS STARTING TO OCCUR THAT THE BIKE WOULD BUCK AND THERE WOULD FEEL LIKE THERE WASN'T ANY ENGINE BRAKING. I KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALL YAMAHA RIDERS ACROSS THE WORLD AND CAN BE FOUND ON MY YAMAHA FORUM SITES. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE OTHER CRASH RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH. *NM
