2006 YAMAHA XV19 Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

MY MOTORCYCLE ENGINE STOPS RUNNING UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 50 MILES OR SO. THE WORST CONSEQUENCE SO FAR IS THAT IT MADE ME FALL TO THE PAVEMENT RESULTING IN INJURIES TO MY KNEES, ELBOW AND BACK. MY BIKE CONTINUES TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. *TR

ENGINE STALLED AND CUT OFF AT ~25 MPH THREE TIMES WHEN DECELERATING IN MAR 2008 (~5,500 MILES), OCT 2009 (~11,500 MILES), AND APR 2011(~15,200 MILES), JEOPARDIZING THE OPERATOR'S SAFETY. PER YAMAHA/STAR ROADLINER OWNERS BLOG THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND REQUIRES MANUAL UPWARD ADJUSTMENT OF ENGINE IDLE RPM.

I HAVE A 2006 YAMAHA STRATOLINER (S) WITH 2346 MILES. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS THAT FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE BIKE JUST QUITS RUNNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES NOW. WHICH AS YOU CAN GUESS COULD BE DEADLY AT AN INTERSECTION. THE BIKE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE CONTACTED YAMAHA BUT YAMAHA CLAIMS NOTHING IS WRONG AND THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. THIS IS A LIE. IN DIFFERENT FORUMS ON THE INTERNET IT IS A WIDE TOPIC AND YAMAHA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BY OWNERS AND TECH SUPPORT FROM THE DEALERSHIPS. *JB

POSSIBLE FAILURE OF VALVES IN REAR CYLINDER OF THE YAMAHA ROAD STAR CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER. THIS CAN (AND HAS) PUT THE DRIVER AND / OR PASSENGER IN DANGER. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THESE MOTORCYCLES FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND YAMAHA HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT IT OR PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING. *JB

THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR ON MY 2006 YAMAHA XV1700 (WARRIOR) BEGAN TO FAIL. THIS CAUSED ERRATIC HESITATION DURING ACCELERATION TO THE POINT OF BECOMING INOPERABLE. HAD IT FAILED COMPLETELY, MY ENGINE WOULD HAVE JUST DIED DURING OPERATION, WHICH COULD HAVE VERY LIKELY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. *JB
