THE SIDE CASE LOCK FAILED, CAUSING THE SIDE CASE (SADDLEBAG) TO FALL OPEN WHILE RIDING. THIS CAUSED THE MOTORCYCLE TO SWERVE, NEARLY CAUSING A CRASH. I REPAIRED THE LOCK BY ADDING A LOCK WASHER AND LIQUID LOCKTITE TO THE SINGLE SCREW HOLDING THE LOCK IN PLACE. TWO WEEKS AGO, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE CASE. LUCKILY, THIS TIME IT HAPPENED AT VERY SLOW SPEED IN MY DRIVEWAY. IF THIS HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED, OR IN A TURN, IT COULD BE DEADLY. I CONTACTED YAMAHA AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE LOCK MECHANISM UNLESS THERE WAS A VEHICLE SAFETY RECALL ORDERED BY NHTSA. ACCORDING TO THEIR PARTS WEBSITE, THEY HAVE REPLACED THE ORIGINAL LOCK MECHANISMS WITH A DIFFERENT ONE ON NEWER MODELS AND NO LONGER SELL THIS PART. PART NUMBER IS 5P5-28406-01-00. THIS NEW PART IS A REPLACEMENT FOR THE ORIGINAL, DEFECTIVE PART- PART...
