Consumer Description

While shifting into and out of 3rd gear it began to clunk and now is almost useless. Yamaha is aware that they had a defective gears and replaced the gears with a new kit part number. They refuse to replace the parts and do the repair at their cost well knowing it is a manufacturing defect and can cause serious damage to the motor and transmission This motorcycle only has 13000 miles and the transmission is to the point of being dangerous to ride, if even ridable at all. Their are so many reports of this same issue, Yamaha should recall these motorcycles and repair this manufacturing defect their cost before someone gets killed.
