Consumer Description

IN SECOND GEAR GOING ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN OPENING THE THROTTLE THE MOTORCYCLE STAYED AT 50 MPH FOR APPROXIMATELY 3-4 SEC BEFORE SLIGHTLY ACCELERATING AT THAT POINT. THE OTHER DAY IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULD BARELY GET OUT OF THE WAY OF A VEHICLE. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THIS HAPPENED WITH ALL 2007 YAMAHA YZF VEHICLES. WHEN I CONTACTED YAMAHA THEY SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF IT, BUT HAVE NO PLANS ON FIXING IT YET OR IF THEY EVER DO! *AK
