Consumer Description

I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT WHEN I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AFTER RIDING ON A HOT DAY OR AFTER EXTENDED IDLING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, SOMETHING CAUSES A JET OF GAS TO BE SPRAYED FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE BEHIND THE AIR CLEANER COVER, IT FLOWS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE HOT ENGINE VERY NEAR AN EXHAUST PIPE. (HOT ENGINE AND FLOWING GAS NOT GOOD). THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE FLOAT VALVE AND SEAL. HE IS ORDERING ANOTHER ONE BUT DOESN'T REALLY THINK THAT GOING TO CURE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH SEVERAL OTHER YAMAHA MOTORCYCLE OWNERS OF THE ROAD STAR MODEL WITH THE 1700CC ENGINE IN A YAMAHA CHAT ROOM WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. YAMAHA IS APPARENTLY DOING NOTHING ABOUT THE CARBURETOR MODELS OF THIS ENGINE BUT WENT TO FUEL INJECTION IN 2007. THIS FUEL EVENT HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE DATE LISTED BELOW IS THE MOST RECENT. THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW, THE MILEAGE I LISTED IS THE LAST INCIDENT. *TR
