Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A 2006 YAMAHA ROADSTAR 1700 NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. JUST BEFORE THE ONE YEAR WARRANTY EXPIRED THE MOTORCYCLE STARTED TO BACKFIRE AND STALL WHILE RIDING. THE BIKE IS STOCK WITH NO MODIFICATIONS. THE DEALER TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BIKE. NOW THE PROBLEM IS WORSE AND THE BIKE IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD TO FIND OUT OVER THE INTERNET THROUGH FORUMS THAT IT'S THE VALVES THAT ARE STICKING IN THE MOTOR. THE SERVICE DEPT TELLS ME IT MIGHT BE A DOG FIGHT BETWEEN ME AND THE MANUFACTURER. *TR THE CONSUMER STATED YAHAMA HAS AGREED TO PERFORM A VALVE JOB ON THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 09/26/07 *TR
