| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2007 yamaha fjr 1300 motorcycle purchased in may 2007 has a verified inability to deal with altitude changes of 2000 ft. or so in either going up, or down in elevation. during the periods the motorcycle hesitates and then surges during these periods. this is alleviated by pulling off the road and then restarting the engine, but the act of hesitating/surging while going around corners at speed limit can be dangerous both the rider, vehicles behind the rider, and potentially to oncoming traffic. this issue has been recognized by my dealer, desert valley powersports of prosser, wa. and reported to yamaha corporation. i have requested several times to have this issue fixed and am told that they know of the issue, there is nothing they can do about it, and yamaha is working on a fix. separately by another dealer i am told that this won't be fixed by yamaha and is an issue with the 2007 model. *tr |
