Consumer Description

3RD GEAR, LOUD WHINING SOUNDS COMING FROM TRANSMISSION AREA WHILE IN 3RD GEAR BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH. YAMAHA HAS CHANGED THEIR 3RD GEAR DESIGN AND CHANGED THEIR REPLACEMENT PART NUMBER, YET HAS NOT RECALLED AND REPAIRED OUR BIKES THAT HAVE THE OLD DESIGN. IS THIS A COVER UP BY THE MANUFACTURER OFF A WELL KNOWN CONDITION THAT CAN CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO LOCK UP AND THE RIDER LOOSING CONTROL CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY AND OR DEATH? PLEASE DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO ME AND MY FAMILY.
