Consumer Description

2007 AND 2008 YAMAHA R1 MOTORCYCLES HAVE FAULTY ECU WHICH CAUSES BIKE TO STALL WHEN COASTING OR STOPPING AND LAG WHEN ACCELERATING AT CERTAIN RPM RANGES. THIS CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR BOTH THE RIDER AND OTHER MOTOR VEHICLES IN THE VICINITY. YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND INITIALLY EXCHANGED FAULTY ECU'S AT NO CHARGE BUT QUICKLY STOPPED DOING THIS. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE MANUFACTURE AND WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS, BOTH WHEN I WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND AFTER IT HAD EXPIRED, AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR
