2007 Yamaha YZFR1 engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
2007 yamaha r1 motorcycle has a problem! The engine cuts out at around 5500 RPM. If your at this RPM and open the throttle it will not respond at all for a few seconds, then it will take off. I found this to be very dangerous. It almost coused an accident.
Tl* - the contact owns a 2007 yamaha motorcycle yzf-r1. When the motorcycle is in 2nd gear and at 5500 rpms, the motorcycle hesitates for approximately 3-4 seconds when he tried to accelerate. The contact had not taken the motorycle to be diagnosed. The failure mileage was 1 mile, and the current mileage was 743 miles.
(1) throttle lag on 2007 yamaha r1, try to accelerate in 2nd gear at 5500 RPM's and the bike doesn't move, then all of the sudden a violent jerk and the bike is now violently acceleration. (2) I was in traffic trying to pass a vehicle and almost got run over due to the lag. There is no fixed report, but the european bikes don't have this so a new ecu would fix it. Or a reflash of the ecu. (3) the rearset (aka footpeg brackets) are breaking off when weight is applied. Standing up on the bike or just putting pressure on them will cause them to snap. (4) friend who has the same bike broke his foot when the reset broke. (5) had to buy aftermarket rear sets to avoid this problem. Spent $ 500, on a product I should not have to buy..yamaha needs to reimburse me or send me new ones.
