NHTSA Complaint #10187259 — 2007 YAMAHA YZFR1

2007 YAMAHA R1, THROTTLE LAGGED AT AROUND 5500 RPMS. NO RESPONSE FOR A FEW SECONDS. CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WHEN NEED TO SPEED UP OR TAKE OFF BEFORE BEING RAN OVER A SUV OR IN AN INTERSECTION OR OVERTAKING ANOTHER VEHICLE. FOOT PEG BRACKET BROKEN. WAS PARKING THE BIKE WHEN I PUT SOME PRESSURE ON THE FOOT PEG, IT BROKE AND MYSELF AND THE BIKE WENT DOWN. NO INJURIES, JUST DAMAGES WHICH I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED BY YAMAHA.... BUT IT COULD BE FATAL IN CASE OF RIDING IN TRAFFIC. I REALLY THOUGHT SOMEHOW I SCREWED UP, AND REASON WHY I WENT DOWN, UNTIL I FOUND OUT THAT MANY MORE PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT MY BIKE AND I WENT DOWN BECAUSE OF A STRUCTURAL PROBLEM WITH THE MATERIAL USED IN THE FOOT PEG. I HAVE PICTURES AVAILABLE.... PLUS ORDERED A NEW FOOT PEG, AND IT IS ON BACK ORDER.! MAYBE YAMAHA TOOK THEM ALL OFF THE MARKET , AND IS REPLACING THEM WITH NEW ONES? OR MAYBE IT MEANT MANY PEOPLE WERE HAVING TO BUY NEW ONES. WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND ACTIONS TAKEN?*AK
