Consumer Description

2006 YAMAHA ROADSTAR MOTORCYCLE. AT ABOUT 5000 MILES ON ODOMETER IT STARTED RUNNING POORLY. PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE UNTIL AUGUST 14TH WHEN THE REAR CYLINDER SUDDENLY LOSS ALL POWER WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO RECOVER THE MOTORCYCLE AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (WRONG SIDE) BEFORE GETTING HIT BY TRAFFIC. ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN WITHIN YAMAHA AS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT, REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO GET IT REPAIRED HAVE FAILED. THE MOTORCYCLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP UNTIL THEY DECIDE WHAT TO DO AS IT IS UNSAFE TO RIDE. *JB
