Consumer Description

DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS THE SPEEDOMETER IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO READ. IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO READ. I HOPE NHTSA WILL REQUIRE YAMAHA TO REPLACE ALL AFFECTED SPEEDOMETERS AS IT IS A SAFETY DEFECT THAT COULD LEAD TO INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE NEW. IT IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM, THE MOTORCYCLE ARRIVED IN THIS CONDITION. I HAVE TALKED TO YAMAHA AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE CONDITION (MANY COMPLAINTS) BUT THEY ARE CHOOSING NOT TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
