Power Train · reported Feb 1, 2022
While shifting into and out of 3rd gear it began to clunk and now is almost useless. Yamaha is aware that they had a defective gears and replaced the gears with a new kit part number. They refuse to replace the parts and do the repair at their cost well knowing it is a manufacturing defect and can cause serious damage to the motor and transmission This motorcycle only has 13000 miles and the transmission is to the point of being dangerous to ride, if even ridable at all. Their are so many reports of this same issue, Yamaha should recall these motorcycles and repair this manufacturing defect…

I was riding home from college and I down shifted from 4th gear to third and heard a noise and the bike stalled. I was able to get it into neutral and it started back up again however if I shift into third it makes a horrible tapping noise. So, I have been riding the bike without using 3rd gear. I AM a disabled veteran who lives on very little vet benefits which do not allow for me to pay for a top end rebuild which is required to change the gear. Nor can I pay for yamahas new third gear ( Which is not the same part or part # that the bike was originally built with ) that they came up with to…

3rd gear makes a lot of noise even in idle. People on line say it's a defective gear pin that yamaha knows about but won't recall.

Almost died today. My bike stalled for the 17th time and as I stalled, I stopped hard because of the jolt of the stall and my bad back couldn't handle the weight being off balance so I had to lay the bike down. As I was falling to the ground, another car locked up her brakes to avoid killing me in the lane to the left. The bike routinely stalls when coming to a stop and I AM hoping the yamaha corp will do the honorable thing and fix this before someone does get killed. I refuse to ride anymore and will not sell the death trap to anyone else. So, please recall and fix this problem as I really…
