| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2007 yamaha yzf-r1 about 3 weeks ago. when riding this motorcycle in 2nd gear at 5500 rpm (approximately 45 mph), there is absolutely no throttle response for 2 to 3 seconds - almost as if it is running out of gas. my dealer contacted yamaha and while describing the defect was interrupted by the yamaha representative... "let me guess, 2nd gear at 5500 rpm? the answer is tmdt... that model does that. that's the way the computer is programmed and there is no fix. the bike should be ridden the way it was meant to be ridden to avoid this." in other words, they are suggesting the bike should be ridden like a race bike. this would be very dangerous on public roads with other traffic. |
