Consumer Description

THIS IS A YAMAHA MOTORCYCLE. IT HAS A BLOWN FORK SEAL, WHICH IS A PRETTY COMMON OCCURRENCE. THIS IS IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING. THERE ARE 2 SPECIAL TOOLS NECESSARY TO REPAIR THIS, ACCORDING TO THE FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL. NEITHER OF THESE SPECIAL TOOLS ARE AVAILABLE FROM YAMAHA. THERE ARE NO SUBSTITUTES AVAILABLE EITHER, ACCORDING TO 3 SEPARATE DEALERS AND THE CORPORATE HQ IN CALIFORNIA. THIS IS QUITE A SAFETY RISK, AS I CANNOT PROPERLY REPAIR THE SUSPENSION, AND THIS WILL AFFECT THE STABILITY/CONTROLLABILITY OF THE BIKE. IT ALSO AFFECTS THE BRAKES, AS FLUID CAN LEAK ONTO THE ROTOR/PADS AND REDUCE THE EFFECTIVENESS. *TR
