Consumer Description

ON MARCH 21ST OF 2012, AROUND 2PM, I LEFT MY HOUSE TO HEAD TO WORK. WHEN I APPROACHED THE STOP LIGHT (RED) RIGHT OFF MCKINLEY BRIDGE ON MISSOURI SIDE, I DOWN SHIFTED FROM 4TH TO 3RD GEAR WHEN I NOTICED THE BIKE LUNGED FORWARD A BIT AND STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE THE BELT IS NOT GRABBING ONTO THE SPROCKET OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS ALOT OF ROADLINER'S AND STRATOLINERS XV1900'S HAS THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE 3RD GEAR PINION P/N 1D7-17131-01-00. YAMAHA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE MODEL BIKE IN QUESTION BUT HAS NOT HAD A RECALL ON THIS PART YET. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC CRASH FROM THE TRANSMISSION LOCKING UP AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS A NEW P/N (99999-03864.00). *TR
