Going south bound on i15 and had a semi behind me and all of a sudden the bikes cuts out like it's running out of fuel it slowed me down to 55 my and glanced in my mirror and seen the semi right on my but as if he did notice me slowing down then all of a sudden the bike starts going again and I was able to go over three lanes to get out of his way I stayed their not knowing if it was going to happen again and of course it did it happened three times before I decided to get off the free way this problem should be recalled to have the issue resolved it could end up someone getting hurt or killed depending on the situation. I have got on motorcycle forums to find out the problem and see if anyone else has had this problem and their has been quite of few people and my bet is that not to many have reported the problem.

To whom it may concern: I am not being treated fairly by the yamaha corporation. Due to the recall status of my 2003 roadstar warrior, the yamaha corporation is costing me money as my motorcycle is sitting in my garage waiting for parts for the recall. I now have a motorcycle that I cannot ride because of the recall, but my payments and my insurance payments on this motorcycle keep coming? I realize when dealing with machines of this nature recalls can happen. The recall itself is not the reason for this letter. The issue is yamaha's handling of this recall situation. My motorcycle has been sitting going on two months because of this, and my yamaha dealer has no idea when the parts for your recall will be availabale. Plus the fact that my dealer says there are many motorcycles in front of me for the recall, so I have no idea when my motorcycle will be deemed safe to ride again. They have not communicated any information to me or to my dealer as to when these parts will be available. Yamaha's customer relation's people have no idea when the parts will be available to return my motorcycle to a safe status. This, in my opinion, is unaccepatable. Everyday that my motorcycle sits unusable, I get angrier with the yamaha corporation. At this point there is no way I would purchase another yamaha product, nor would I recommend a yamaha product. I know I am a very small speck on the total list of owners and I feel they will not give this letter a second thought. But hear me on this, I will tell a lot of folks how I have been treated by the yamaha corporation. Also, if I am not mistaken, after 30 days of the vehicle not being repaired, there is grounds for a lemon law case.
