Consumer Description

I RECENTLY PURCHASE A 2007 YAMAHA YZF R-1. UNDERSTANDINGS IT IS THE FIRST YEAR YAHMAHA USES THIS TECHNOLOGY ON THE R1S WAS A CONCERN. BUT I BOUGHT IT ANYWAY. MY FEARS CAME TRUE WHEN MERGING ONTO FREEWAY. THE BIKE HAS A DANGEROUS THROTTLE LAG IN 2ND GEAR AT 5500RPMS (45MPH). THIS IS AN UNSAFE SITUATION ON ANY VEHICLE BUT ESP A 2 WHEEL MOTORCYCLE. APPARENTLY THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AND YAMAHA IS NOT PLANNING A RECALL DESPITE KNOWING OF THE HAZARDOUS POSITION IT HAS PLACED ITS CUSTOMERS IN. *TR
