Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2006 V- STAR SILVERADO 1100. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON MY WAY TO A MOTORCYCLE CONVENTION. I STARTED TO HEAR A NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATED ON THE HIGHWAY. FOUND A DEALERSHIP OPEN, WHEN THEY WERE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT THEY TOLD ME MY DRIVE SHAFT WAS BROKEN. I AM A WOMEN AND THE MILEAGE ON THE BIKE IS 42,979. I BOUGHT IT USED AT 1900 MILES. I DON'T MISTREAT THE BIKE. THE YAMAHA CORPORATION STATED I DIDN'T HAVE A WARRANTY SO THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THIS IS A PART ON THE MOTORCYCLE THAT ISN'T SUPPOSE TO BREAK RIGHT OFF. PART OF THE SHAFT WAS STILL ATTACHED TO THE GEARS. MY OPINION IS THEY WONT RECALL THIS PART UNTIL SOMEONE DIES., THE COST WILL BE 2250. TO REPLACE THE SHAFT AND ALL THE PARTS. *TR
