WELL I WAS DRIVING IN MY MOTORCYCLE RIGHT BEHIND MY PARENTS ON JUNE 10, 2012 WHEN I NOTICED THAT THEY WERE SPEEDING, I BROUGHT IT TO THERE ATTENTION, MY SPEEDOMETER SAID THEY WERE GOING 80, BUT MY PARENTS STATED THEY WERE GOING 75 MPH. SO WE WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE WHEN WE GOT HOME I STATED TO HIM DRIVE 55 MPH FOR ABOUT TWO MILES AND I WILL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU SURE ENOUGH MY SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS GOING 60 BUT HE WAS GOING 55. THEN I TESTED IT WITH A GPS DEVICE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. ON MONDAY JUNE 11, 2012 I CALLED YAMAHA AND ASKED THEM ABOUT THIS, THEY STATED THAT THERE IS AN ALLOWABLE DIFFERENCE WHICH IS 10 PERCENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE STATEMENT TO ME IS VALID. ONE OF THE REASONS I AM CONCERNED IS THE SLOWEST POSSIBLE LIMIT ON A FREEWAY IS 45 MPH HERE IN CA. WHAT IF I AM GOING 46, AND A POLICE OFFICER PULLS ME OVER FOR GOING 40...WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CITATION? *TR

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
