| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I am posting this complaint in conjunction with another posted about the yamaha r6 motorcycle. mine was a 2003 and i believe most of the issues are with this year. the bike shut off while riding when pulling in the clutch or letting the rpm's dip low when coming to a stop - below about 2500. bike should have idled easily around 1500. it was in the shop 3 times and no dealer could figure it out. we called yamaha and they said they'd never heard of it . not true. please see this website: http://www.r6messagenet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30990&highlight=nhtsa and http://www.r6messagenet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1513&highlight=nhtsa for details on many other riders having the same problem - and yamaha denies they ever heard of it. many others have called them with the same problem. this is a serious safety issue and somebody is going to get killed. i finally traded it in because it is not safe. it had happened to me multiple times over the last two years. the last date reported was the last time i brought it into the dealer (approximate date). *jb |
