What 2007 Yamaha XV1700 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Fuel filter assembly 5px-24560-00 had an incorrect tolerance fit and began leaking fuel on to the engine. Luckily the unit stayed together while the motorcycle was traveling. Upon replacing part it simply fell apart and caused all fuel in the tank to drain. Failure during travel would likely cause a fire and injury or death to the rider.
Carburetor spills gas all over hot exhaust on restart after riding. Happens when engine is hot. Hard to restart. Very dangerous. Leaves pool of gas under hot bike. I own 2 of these bikes and they both do it. Yamaha does not acknowledge that a problem exist.
Gas pukes out of the carburetor onto hot exhaust pipes when engine is restarted after running on a warm day. Trouble restarting engine. Pukes out enough to leave a puddle under bike. Happens all the time. Service people just said that it was the nature of the beast. This will cause a fire one day. I hear this complaint from a lot of roadstar owners. Yamaha does not acknowledge a problem. Dates of incident range in all summer months since ownership. Bought bike new from dealership.
1. Riding motorcycle for about 50 minutes, outside air temperature is above 80 degrees. Parked motorcycle and returned to it 15 minutes later. 2. Unable to restart engine, strong smell of gasoline, small amount of gasoline coming from bottom of vent tube. Generally occurs when engine is very hot. 3. Let engine cool 10-20 minutes, waited for gas smell to dissipate, able to restart. No parts replaced.
I recently took a motorcycle trip to colorado, while there I had several incidents where on hot days my motorcycle would overflow gas onto hot engine and pipes. This is a known problem with this bike and I feel that, due to the amount of fuel spilling onto hot engine and pipes, it's only a matter of time before a fire and/or explosion occurs.
I have an 2007 roadstar 1700 and if the bike is in heavy stop and go traffic the bike will pour gas out the carb if you turn it off the fuel will pour out over the hot exhaustand your foot this has happened numerous times.
2007 roadstar silverado motorcycle. Ever since purchased the motorcycle pukes gasoline after riding or stopping to gas up. It continues to puke gas in my garage after riding it especially during the summer time. I noticed gas being ejected and boiling within the "v" of the twin cylinders from the carbureator. Also when I stop for gas the motorcycle will puke gas and not allow me to restart the motorcycle.
In temperatures over 85 degrees when stopping for gas my motorcycle spews gas out of the carb and onto the ground or hot exhaust pipes. This is a common problem according to the owners group website and yamaha says they have never had this problem and or that it has to do with ethanol in the gas. This situation has a serious potential to cause a fire.
