Consumer Description

PURCHASED NEW 2006 YAMAHA V STAR 1100 IN MARCH OF 2008. AS OF JULY 2011 HAS 4400 MILES. STARTED MAKING STRANGE NOISE WHILE RIDING IT. PUT ON JACK COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG. CRANKED BIKE, PUT IN GEAR WHILE STILL ON JACK, MAKING CLICKING NOISE AND REAR WHEEL LOCKED UP. PULLED COVER OFF SPEED SENSOR AREA, THEN PULLED SPEED SENSOR OUT AND SAW NUT LIEING BETWEEN U-JOINT NUTS YOKES. BIKE IS STILL LOCKED UP, I HAVE NOT REMOVED ANY FURTHER PARTS. SOMEONE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS. IT IS A SAFETY HAZZARD. I NEED MY MOTORCYCLE REPAIRED BY THE COMPANY. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM AND WAS TOLD NO RECALL NOTICES HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU *TR
