Fuel/Propulsion System · at 11,384 miles · reported Apr 5, 2018
When I was riding my motorcycle on 04/03/2018 temperature was 78 degrees. Whenever I stopped and shut engine off then try to restart engine ,gasoline poured out of the breather ,carbureator spilling gas on the hot engine making that a fire hazard. It did it several times during the day. I think this needs to be look at it makes a very dangerous situation. Thank you
Exterior Lighting · at 3 miles · reported Jul 29, 2013
The turn signal lenses and stop lamp lens on hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of yamaha motorcycles are not identified with a DOT or SAE marking, making it illegal to operate the motorcycle in virginia and many other states. It was requested that yamaha USA work with the DOT to issue a certification letter for the state police and state vehicle safety inspection programs to resolve this problem for the hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions of yamaha motorcycle owners affected. The alternative is to have the nhtsb develop a recall (Or decal?) solution for yamaha owners to allow…

Outside temperature: 95+f, sunny, clear no passenger, just driver just pulled into the driveway after an 60 - 90 minute ride. Shutdown motorcycle. Raw gasoline, leaking from the carburetor, dripping onto the engine and exhaust pipes. Amount of gas expelled onto the engine, I would estimate 2oz - 4oz. Fuel delivery system was stock at that time. No modifications made prior to the incident. Read on internet forums for this motorcycle, this is a common issue for this brand of motorcycle. Description of fuel delivery system. From tank - through fuel filter - to electronic fuel pump - to carburetor…
Engine and Engine Cooling · at 625 miles · reported Jul 14, 2010
Back firing and wanting to die,on cold starts. Yamaha did the valve job under warranty,and told me it was from improper oil change. Now its doing it again and the yamaha shop has been doing the oil change, 1 year later and 3000 miles. Yamaha also has problems with starter clutches making a crack when turning off the bike.(That sounds like its going to fly out of the bike,oh yea and it don't start when this happens).
