Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a new 2003 yamaha road star motorcycle from hattiesburg cycles in hattiesburg mississippi on 3 january 2004. i was notified 13 january 2004 of a recall involving extensive repairs to the transmission and told not to operate the motorcycle until the repairs were completed due to the possibility a failure in which the rear wheel could lock-up causing an accident. since being notified (6 weeks now) my motorcycle has not been repaired and the dealer or yamaha customer service is unable to provide me with an estimated date when the repairs will be completed. i fell this is unacceptable i'm am still making $400 payments each month for a motorcycle which i am unable to operate. with my wife and i both working this is one of my primary means of transportation. i want either a firm delivery date for the required parts and repair date or full re-imbursements of my purchase price. *ak
