Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2006 YAMAHA VSTAR CUSTOM MOTORCYCLE. THE OUTPUT SHAFT BROKE IN SEP 2009, WITH ONLY 30,000 KILOMETRES ON THE BIKE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM IS MORE COMMON THAN YAMAHA IS WILLING TO ADMIT. NUMEROUS DEALERS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THE PROBLEM ON OTHER BIKES OF THE SAME YEAR. ALSO, I AM TOLD THAT THE REPLACEMENT OUTPUT SHAFT THAT IS SENT TO DEALERS IS LARGER AND MORE SOLID THAN THE ORIGINAL PART THAT WAS USED ON THE BIKES. THIS INDICATES TO ME AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM. *TR
