| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2007 yamaha r1 1. the bike cuts off almost every time i come to a stop. it does not matter whether the bike is in neutral or in gear with the clutch pulled in. it died approximately. 15-20 times on my ride. 2. if i blip/rev the bike in neutral or while in gear with the clutch pulled in, the bike shuts of as well. 3. i was merging on the freeway in second gear and when i went to speed up, the bike hesitated for about 3-4 seconds and then very slowly picked up. i was almost hit by the car behind me. i realized that if i'm at 5500 rpm's in second gear for a few seconds and then open the throttle, it causes this lag every single time. this is definitely not safe! i was almost rear ended by a car. 4. the bike also reached 250 degrees several times under cruising conditions. i can't even trust this bike to stay running either 'cause it seems it dies every time i come to a stop. 5. the bike also sometimes takes quite a few tries to start it. i have to hold down the starter for about 3-5 seconds sometimes. *tr |
