Consumer Description

MY 2004 YAMAHA R1 CUTS OUT/STOPS RUNNING UNDER NORMAL RIDING CONDITIONS WITH NO WARNING, OR APPARENT FAILURE. I GET NO FAILURE CODES, OR WARNING LIGHTS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN RIDING IN TRAFFIC, OR ON TURN. YAMAHA IS AWARE OF FAULTY TPS SENSORS, BUT REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL AND/OR A SAFETY BULLETIN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. MANY OWNERS OF THIS BIKE HAVE ISSUED THE SAME COMPLAINT WITH NO ACTION TO DATE. *JB
