Consumer Description

VEHICLE IS A YAMAHA MOTORCYCLE. AT ABOUT 45 MPH LOST DRIVE POWER. NONE OF THE GEARS WOULD WORK TO PROVIDE POWER TO REAR END. REPAIR WAS DONE AT A YAMAHA REPAIR SHOP. PART REPLACED WAS CALLED THE FINAL GEAR CLUTCH HUB. REPAIR SPOKESPERSON INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE AND THE MANNER OF FAILURE WAS UNCOMMON. ESSENTIALLY THE GEAR TEETH ON THIS HUB DISINTEGRATED AND WITHOUT PROPER EXPLANATION AS TO WHY. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE RIDE BY COASTING OUT OF THE OTHER LANE(S) OF TRAFFIC. IF THE PART FAILED BECAUSE OF POOR OR INFERIOR MATERIALS USED IN THIS PART, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THIS COULD HAPPEN TO OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SERIES OF MOTORCYCLE AND COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH DEPENDING ON WHERE THE RIDER HAPPENS TO BE AT TIME OF FAILURE. *TR
