| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Having observed a number of reported failures on the gts newsgroup, i tested my abs brakes and found that the rear wheel locks and skids without any warning that the abs system is not working properly. at this point the bike has not been taken to a dealer as yamaha state the only repair possible is a complete replacement of the abs unit. given the low milage of the motorcycle, i believe this is a major safety defect that should be reported. yamaha have received a letter advising them of a high percentage of failures. *ak |
