Consumer Description

AUG. 3RD 2010 WHILE DRIVING NORTH ON CA 101 AT ABOUT 4:00 PM IN HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC , THE ENGINE STOPPED DEAD. IT WOULD NOT RESTART. IT WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST YAMAHA SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE A BAD GROUND CONNECTION(SPYDER). THE CONNECTOR WAS REMOVED AND THE WIRES WERE SOLDERED TOGETHER AT THE YAMAHA DEALERSHIP . I HAVE THE CONNECTOR AND GAVE IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP . THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WERE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY FACTOR ( DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AT SPEED AND TO HAVE THE ENGINE JUST STOP ). *TR
