Consumer Description

I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND LOST ALL POWER. DIAGNOSIS SHOWED A FAILED IGNITION SWITCH. ONLINE INVESTIGATION INDICATES YAMAHA WAS FORCED BY THE NHTSA TO RECALL 2006-09 FJR 1300 MODELS FOR THIS SWITCH FAILURE, AND THERE ARE A HUGE NUMBER OF 2001-05 OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME FAILURE. THIS COULD, AND PROBABLY HAS, LED TO INJURY OR DEATH IF FAILURE OCCURS AT A HIGHER SPEED. I WAS 500 MILES AWAY FROM HOME AT THE TIME, AND INCURRED COST EXCEEDING $500 TO GET HOME WITH THE MOTORCYCLE. *TR
