I HAVE SEEN AT LEAST 3 FAILURES OF THE REAR SHOCK LOWER RELAY ARM SCRAPING THE LOWER SHOCK SUPPORTS & BENDING THEN CRACKING. MINE LOOKS LIKE ITS STARTING TO RUB WITH ONLY 700MI ON THE ODOMETER. IF YOU GO ON THE FZ8 FORUM THERE ARE PHOTOS YOU CAN OBSERVE. YAMAHA SHOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. *TR

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.
