Hello; I contacted the yamaha corporation about this problem at their corporate headquarters in cypress, california. Twice, I tried to get the problem taken care of. First contact was [[redacted]], then [[redacted]], 04-10-2015. 10:55 Am, the attitude of the representatives was incredible, even to the point of mocking me about the safety issue. When I asked to speak to a manager, they said there wasn't one, and that I am who you speak to . The final response of both was that there is no recall and...

I was to pay for it myself. This pattern of response is pre-planned by yamaha, they do not care at all. This issue can easily result in death, a scooter that instantly stops in traffic is extremely serious. Please help me, they do not care at all about the owners of these vehicles. [[redacted]] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6). *Tr
Hello; I have a 2008 yamaha morphous. There are recalls on the 2005-2007 models. My mechanic has diagnosed the problem as the fuel system being entirely rusted out, the fuel tank, fuel filter, and assembly. I contacted yamaha corporation and they will do nothing about it. The recall says this problem can result in death this is not right at all, and I just purchased this from a second party. Please help me and add this to the list of recalls. It should be 2005-2008, the last year they were made. [[redacted]] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6). *Tr
In warm weather, fuel pump fails after getting hot. Today, after a 20 minute ride at interstate speeds, I arrived at my destination. The ambient temperature was around 75 degrees. After 2 hours, ready to return, I tried to start the scooter, no joy. After removing the plastic helmet tray under the seat, I poured chilled water on the fuel pump atop the gas tank, and then the scooter started right up. Had this problem last summer but never figured out what the issue was. Always just had to let it sit for...

several hours before it would start again. I got the idea to pour water on it after reading several posts from other yamaha scooter owners who have mentioned fuel pump issues. The bike only has 3400 miles on it. It does not seem that a component like this should begin to fail after that few miles. It is, or course, out of manufactures warranty due to age. *Tr
I am aware of a problem with fuel pump failure and consequent engine stalling in yamaha motorcycle model wr250r and wr250x, model year 2008. This problem has been addressed by a recall in japan on this model (as well as other models using this pump assembly). At this time, I see no complaints listed on your website. As this constitutes a safety issue, I think that a recall in the usa should be required. The problem has been reported on at least 3 popular enthusiast web sites. If you can provide a specific...

2006 Yamaha virago xv250, 70 mph on i96, no braking, solo ride, 16000 miles, 21 mos old, the left arm of the rear swing arm buckled, continuing to yield until the rear tire made contact with the right inner swing arm and the rear brake linkage. This contact stabilized the left side swing arm yielding, however the rubbing of the tire caused substantial deceleration abruptly. The collapsing swing arm caused drive chain slack and the chain jumped on the sprocket. The tire was smoking due to the rub. Loss of...

control resulted. Rear tire failure was eminent. I am highly skilled, a flight instructor, and have tens of thousands of bike miles. I stopped quickly using the front disc brake as I pulled off the expressway onto the shoulder. I bought this bike brand new, and use it to commute to work on detroit freeways. It has never been off road, nor do I carry a passenger. It has been meticulously maintained. I am a master mechanic in michigan. I am flight instructor who owned and maintained a cessna 152 for years. Bsee from uofm, ms from lawrence tech. I baby this bike. I bought yes, yamaha extended service contract. Yamaha has denied the claim. The dealer states it is unsafe to ride. I will purchase required parts and make my own repairs. This failure could easily have killed the driver, and caused an accident on the freeway. I want to get rid of the bike, as, simply putting on a replacement part of the same design will not resolve this issue. The swing arm is inadequate. Please note, the vehicle selection is cp250. Virago xv250 is not available in your drop down menu. *Tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 yamaha 1300 royal star (na). While riding 70 mph, the brake pedal extended to the ground when the brakes were applied. All of the brake fluid was leaking out onto the tires and the ground. The contact took the motorcycle to the yamaha dealer twice for repair and they stated that it was due to rider error. He took the vehicle to another mechanic and they stated that they would make the repair. Heat from the brakes burned the saddle bag located on the side of the vehicle. The dealer does not want to take responsibility for the bag and will not pay for a new one. The failure mileage was 6,400.
