| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Since my 2005 yamaha road star had 3000-3500 miles on it, it has developed a severe loss of compression in it's rear cylinder. this causes a safety hazard by not producing the appropriate acceleration of speed in crucial situations. an example would be while accelerating when merging onto a highway. the motorcycle oftentimes cannot produce the speed required to safely enter into a moving traffic lane. i fear being hit or killed in a traffic accident because of it, possibly not being able to accelerate quickly enough out of another motorist's way. this problem is caused by 'sticky' valves/excessive carbon build-up in the rear cylinder and valves. note; because my model is not listed among the yamaha motorcycle model's listed in the drop-down menu in this complaint, i selected 'warrior' as it is closely related. this has caused me problem's well in excess of 300 times, as i have numbered in the 'failures' box below. also, the defective component is unknown to me. in this complaint i was asked to select a defective component and in order to continue, i choose an arbitrary one, for the sake of completing and submitting this complaint only. one was required to continue, otherwise i couldn't accomplish completing the complaint. *nm |
