Consumer Description

THIS FALL MY 2004 YZF R1(YAMAHA MOTORCYCLE) CUT OUR TWICE AT 60 MPH. I WAS LUCKY IN THE FACT THAT I WAS JUST GOING STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. IF I HAD BEEN GOING ON A TIGHT CURVE THE OUT COME WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT. WHEN THE ENGINE CUTS OUT IT'S LIKE SLAMMING ON THE REAR BRAKE OR "ENGINE BRAKING", AND ON A CORNER THIS WOULD MAKE YOU WIPE OUT. TALKED TO THE YAMAHA DEALERSHIP IN TOWN BUT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BUT I KNOW OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I BOUGHT THE BIKE NEW IN MARCH 2004 AND NOW HAS 7900 MILES ON IT. *JB
