Yamaha XV1900 Problems by year

lucky that I made I home. Yamaha is aware of this issue and now they have a new model number 1d7-13907-01-00 which supersedes 1d7-13907-00-00. But they have done nothing to address this issue in exsiting fuel pumps.

presented for warranty claim. Turn signals on bikes are key safety features, and as on cars, are not supposed to just vibrate off under warranty. Indeed, unlike a mirror which can be tightened easily by a wrench, such dismantling required is a defect in manufacturing. Harleys, cars, don't have headlights or brake/turn lights falling off and unbolting during a 5yr. Warranty period, if ever ! Owner contacted dealer in feb. 2018 And asked if defect, how beat to fix. Owner stopped in to dealer summer 2018 for fix but told "too busy" despite a safety issue. Owner came in end of oct. 2018 Under warranty, and dealer repaired but yes would not pay for fix. Internet is full of similar complaints on this and other models that internally attached signal stalks vibrate loose and owners have to take to dealer or use bizarre d.I.Y. Techniques to access internal bolt. Yamaha clearly did not engineer enough protection via lock-washers, double bolts and/or use of loctite glue on bolt and threaded rod. Yamaha also refuses admit owners are complaining. Yam should inform nhtsa how many dealer repairs on '12 stratoliner, and why no recall or tsb issued. Yam should be told by nhtsa this a defect/safety issue, not a maintenance item. Also, dealer installed yam passing lamps custom made for bike also failed & dealer fixed wrong as now won't go off when hibeams on, a ny law. *Js

issue. As it appears in my research for the past 12 months it is a known issue but no recall was issued by yamaha. The motorcycle was discontinued and is no longer in production and to my belief is due to the faulty production and failure of 3rd gear. The stratoliner and raider both using the 1900cc motor and other models using this same transmission have the same common issue. Issue occurs any time motorcycle is in motion and utilizing the 3rd gear of this manual transmission. The defect causes a whine and a knock/tick sound. Does not matter the speed or conditions of travel, simply, any time in 3rd gear and in motion. At this time and according to my research it does not effect the other transmission gears until the gear completely fails (which could cause injury to the rider and further damage to motorcycle.) Once purchased and this problem presents itself it is not safe to sell to other consumers and trade in value is non existent due to safety and mechanical defects.
