Most Recent Complaints
About a month ago I purchased a 2005 Yamaha fjr1300. After purchasing I was out riding when the bike suddenly stalled. Upon reengaging the clutch, the back tire kicked out very hard and caused me to wreck the bike. I sent the bike to Guntersville Power Sports to have the bike fixed. Upon examination by their techs, it was discovered that the bike had a faulty tps sensor, in which not only could be and was the cause of the accident but also was a recall. Yamahas tech said that the tps sensor was faulty and in corridiance of the recall and would fix and replace the tps sensor. But would not fix the damages. The bike wouldn't have received said damages had the bike not had a faulty tps sensor. Therefore making yamaha responsible
