My 1999 yamaha road star motorcycle consistently voids raw fuel from the carburetor through the air cleaner down onto the hot engine case and onto the ground, especially when it is hot. The yamaha motorcycle company refuses to acknowledge this; local dealer knows nothing about this issue that plagues many of us with these motorcycles.

- What is wrong
- On certain motorcycles, certain transmission components may not meet yamaha quality-control standards, which could allow abnormal wear that eventually results in a broken retaining circlip.
- Risk
- If the circlip breaks, the transmission could lock up, which would also cause the rear wheel to lock up. This could result in loss of control and a crash with injury or death.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace certain transmission components with new ones free of charge. The recall began on october 30, 2006. Owners may contact yamaha at 1-800-88-yamaha or visit their website at www.yamaha-motor.com.
