| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While riding the motorcycle in question in the mountains the elevation above sea level changed from 1500 to 5000 feet and descended again. while ascending the mountain at low speeds (25-30 mph), the engine did not respond to throttle input and began to stall. right before stall, the engine would suddenly accelerate violently. changes in altitude of approximately 800-1000 feet seem to correspond with the problem. shutting the engine off and restarting it appear to resolve the issue temporarily, that is, until the altitude changes again. as a result of the bike's erratic behavior, i nearly dropped it time while trying to re-enter the road from a parking lot. two other times it was difficult to control while negotiating low speed turns in on the mountainside. to date, yamaha mechanics have said my carburetor needs to be adjusted. however, it is difficult for them to repeat the problem because we are at sea level with no significant elevation changes within reasonable distances for the mechanic. *tr |
