Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION'S THIRD GEAR IS FAILING(GRINDING NOISE WHEN IN MOTION) USUALLY STARTS FROM 20 TO 50 K MILES .I CONTACTED YAMAHA AND THEY CLAIM NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PROBLEM. THAT STATEMENT IS A TOTAL LIE AS THEY HAVE EVEN CREATED A REPLACEMENT PART FOR THE PROBLEM GEAR , 3RD PINION, P/N 99999-03864-00 (REPLACES 1D7-17131-01-00) THE ORIGINAL GEAR WAS NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED = CAUSE FAILURE .THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE DRIVE TRAIN LOCKUP AND CRASHES LEADING TO FATALITIES. AS LONG AS YAMAHA CAN GET PEOPLE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT.( I.E. NO RECALL ) THEY WILL CONTINUE TO ENDANGER LIVES AND CAUSE CRIPPLING INJURY.
