EXTREME JERKING AND STALLING OF THE ENGINE AT HWY SPEEDS IN A CONGESTED AREA CAUSING EXTREME WORRY ABOUT BEING HIT FROM BEHIND OR BEING TOSSED OFF AND TRASHED ON I-40 CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. DURING THE MECHANICAL INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL PUMP'S PLASTIC HOUSING HAS A FLAW, THERE IS A COLD MOLD LINE IN THE PRESSURE VESSEL. THERE IS A LONG AREA OF THE HOUSING THAT IS VISIBLY FLAWED; AN EXCESSIVELY THIN WALL SECTION THAT IS A RESULT OF A MOLDING PROCESSES INABILITY TO MAINTAIN PROPER MOLD FLOW AT THE PROPER TEMP TO ASSURE A COMPLETELY SOLID PRESSURE VESSEL. THIS FLAW HAS ALLOWED THE FUEL PUMP HOUSING TO RUPTURE CAUSING RAPID CHANGES IN FUEL PRESSURE BEING SUPPLIED TO THE FUEL INJECTORS. THIS UNPREDICTABLE JERKING AND STALLING OF THE ENGINE IS A DANGER TO ALL WHO MAY HAVE THIS UNPREDICTABLE FLAW IN THEIR SYSTEM.
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.
WITH A LITTLE UNDER THIRTY NINE THOUSAND MILES ON THE ODOMETER THE TRANSMISSION FAILED.
