A recall was done on the manual transmission of my 2003 yamaha roadstar silverado on 8/22/03. We got notice on 1/5/04 from the reseller "not to drive until parts are replaced." we got the actual recall letter 1/9/04. Yamaha has no idea when they will get the parts to fix the motorcycle. We have trips planned and are still making payments on this vehicle. Mid-summer is not an acceptable time frame to have it fixed.
