Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Bike was cutting off (like it was running out of gas or like when you hit the kill switch) at about 3200 rpm ,80 to 90 mph,and the only thing i could keep it running was to pull the clutch and give it a little gas. that has hapend since dec.2005 many times special on hwy's at the above speeds. i'm a member of the rswaarrior.com forum and a lot of our members with same bike as mine,yamaha road star warrior and majority 2005 year model had the same problem and resolved it by installing a new sensor.and finaly i had to order a new part,crank position sensor, and replace it today 8-24-06. when i took the old part out the bracket,that holds the sensor secure with two screws one on each side of the sensor, it was broken on one side and only one screw was holding the sensor,so the sensor wasn't making proper contact and was creating the staling,cuting off.ect. that i stated above. i was lucky the bracket didn't brake completly and the bike didn't quit on me going at the hwy speeds,thank god...we have contact yamaha and report it this faliure and until this day 8-24-06 no response... ps: my bike has only 8156 miles on it and i bought it new 0 miles on jan.of 2005. *jb
