Consumer Description

I JUST HAD TO PAY TO HAVE A SAFETY PROBLEM KNOWN TO YAMAHA REPAIRED. THE CLUTCH CABLE ON YAMAHA FJ-09S UP THROUGH 2017 IS KNOW TO BREAK BECAUSE OF IMPROPER DESIGN. YAMAHA HAS COME OUT WITH A REDESIGNED CLUTH CABLE TO FIX THIS PRO0BLEM. IF A RIDER HAD HIS CLUTCH CABLE BREAK IT WOULD RENDER THE MTOROCYCLE UNDRIVEABLE AND POTENTIALLY A MAJOR SAFETY FACTOR IS THE CLUTCH CABLE WAS TO BREAK IN TRAFFIC RENDERING THE MOTORCYCLE UNRIDEABLE. IT WOULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY7 PROBLEM FOR YOUNGER, LESS EXPERIENDED RIDER WHO ARE UNABLE TO SHIFT A MOTORCYCLE WITHOUT A CLUTCH.
