| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2007 yamaha r1, throttle lagged at around 5500 rpms. no response for a few seconds. can cause serious problems when need to speed up or take off before being ran over a suv or in an intersection or overtaking another vehicle. foot peg bracket broken. was parking the bike when i put some pressure on the foot peg, it broke and myself and the bike went down. no injuries, just damages which i want to be reimbursed by yamaha.... but it could be fatal in case of riding in traffic. i really thought somehow i screwed up, and reason why i went down, until i found out that many more people were having the same problem. now i have no doubt that my bike and i went down because of a structural problem with the material used in the foot peg. i have pictures available.... plus ordered a new foot peg, and it is on back order.! maybe yamaha took them all off the market , and is replacing them with new ones? or maybe it meant many people were having to buy new ones. when is this going to be taken seriously and actions taken?*ak |
