2000 YAMAHA XV1600 ROADSTAR MOTORCYCLE HAS BEEN "PUKING" GASOLINE FROM THE CARB AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE (HOT.) IT DOES THIS ALMOST EVERY TIME AFTER RIDING THE BIKE. THERE HAVE BEEN NO FIRES, OR INJURIES THUS FAR, BUT I'M SURE IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING GOES WRONG. YAMAHA MOTOR OF AMERICA, AND LOCAL DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. *JB
SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. ENGINE RUNNING ON ONE CYLINDER. *JB

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.
