issue. One owner even stated a new part from yamaha bought as a replacement to address the concern was also broken in the same location in an intact box. The pump is used on 2002 to 2009 yamaha road star warrior models. This could very easily become a fire hazard. *Js
05 1700 Yamaha roadstar; bike will lean out and die,even after completely warmed up, happens when accelerating just off of idle, especially when turning. Very dangerous when trying to merge with traffic or crossing intersections.Dealer response: well they all do that! We cannot help you. *Tr

Cam sensor (cps) failure on a 2005 yamaha road star warrior. 1St one went out at less than 1000 miles. Bike stalled and would not restart. It was replaced under warranty. Second one went out at 5600 miles. Engine would miss during acceleration between 3000-4000 rpm's. Replaced cps with a new one and problem was fixed. *Jb
1-My 2005 yamaha 1700 roadstar silverado has been sputtering and heavy backfiring coming out of the exhaust including flames, 2-the bike has been dying at red lights and at low engine revolutions, I was told by my dealer that yamaha recognizes they have to short of dipsticks in the oil tank and therefore filling the engines with to much oil and the oil is making the valves stick plus they are installing too weak of valve springs, 3-change valve springs and install new dipstick to lower oil level in tank + run 1 range hotter spark plugs. *Jb
Bike was cutting off (like it was running out of gas or like when you hit the kill switch) at about 3200 rpm ,80 to 90 mph,and the only thing I could keep it running was to pull the clutch and give it a little gas.

to order a new part,crank position sensor, and replace it today 8-24-06. When I took the old part out the bracket,that holds the sensor secure with two screws one on each side of the sensor, it was broken on one side and only one screw was holding the sensor,so the sensor wasn't making proper contact and was creating the staling,cuting off.Ect. That I stated above. I was lucky the bracket didn't brake completly and the bike didn't quit on me going at the hwy speeds,thank god...We have contact yamaha and report it this faliure and until this day 8-24-06 no response... Ps: my bike has only 8156 miles on it and I bought it new 0 miles on jan.Of 2005. *Jb
