Fuel filter assembly 5px-24560-00 had an incorrect tolerance fit and began leaking fuel on to the engine. Luckily the unit stayed together while the motorcycle was traveling. Upon replacing part it simply fell apart and caused all fuel in the tank to drain. Failure during travel would likely cause a fire and injury or death to the rider.

Fuel System, Gasoline · reported Jun 5, 2010

Gas pukes out of the carburetor onto hot exhaust pipes when engine is restarted after running on a warm day. Trouble restarting engine. Pukes out enough to leave a puddle under bike. Happens all the time. Service people just said that it was the nature of the beast. This will cause a fire one day. I hear this complaint from a lot of roadstar owners. Yamaha does not acknowledge a problem. Dates of incident range in all summer months since ownership. Bought bike new from dealership.
