| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While pulling out into traffic, the motorcycle 2006 yamaha roadstar lost power, back fired and almost died. there was traffic approaching, and i was able to pull into a driveway to avoid an accident. this has happened many times. i have contacted the local dealer , and was told the steps to stop this from happening. what was causing the problem was a sticky intake valve. the dealer stated , per tsb from yamaha, it was due to too much oil in the engine, 4.5 quarts, which was what yamaha put in the motorcycle , and the carburetor was set to rich. i did as the technical service bulletin (tsb) stated. i ran a bottle of ring free through the gas tank, and did an oil change, put in 4.0 quarts per tsb, and it was running lean, not rich. the problem was still there. the gas mileage dropped and back spark plugs were wet when i removed them. *ak |
