1-my 2005 yamaha 1700 roadstar silverado has been sputtering and heavy backfiring coming out of the exhaust including flames, 2-the bike has been dying at red lights and at low engine revolutions, I was told by my dealer that yamaha recognizes they have to short of dipsticks in the oil tank and therefore filling the engines with to much oil and the oil is making the valves stick plus they are installing too weak of valve springs, 3-change valve springs and install new dipstick to lower oil level in tank + run 1 range hotter spark plugs.

Engine and Engine Cooling · at 7,500 miles · reported Aug 22, 2006
These are excerpts from the letter that I sent to yamaha on jan 15th, 2006: the valves began sticking on the engine, resulting in severe power loss and making the bike difficult and dangerous to drive. I transported the bike back to sylacauga on nov 15th, and explained to the service manager the symptoms. I also told him that based on what I had experienced, that I was fairly certain that it was the exhaust valves that were sticking'.. He said that they would take a look at the bike. On december 13th, 29 days later, he called to say that the bike was ready. He claimed that my ignition module…
Power Train · reported Aug 21, 2006
The rear cylinder valves are sticking open when my 2005 yamaha roadstar is warming up. It happens very unexpectedly and without warning causing a loss of power. This loss of power has left me sitting along a very busy highway with a narrow shoulder as well as almost caused me to drop the bike during a left hand turn in front of oncoming traffic. I spoke with the local dealership but they claimed to never heard of such a problem while it is widely known among roadstar riders that it is a common problem. It is just a matter of time before someone is injured by this.
