WHILE GETTING MY MOTORCYCLE SERVICED AT THE YAMAHA DEALER, THE MECHANIC NOTIFIED ME THAT MY REAR SHOCK ABSORBER HAD BLOWN A SEAL AND MUST BE REPLACED. THE ENTIRE REAR SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED DUE TO YOU CAN NOT BUY A REBUILD KIT. APPARENTLY THIS HAPPENS A LOT TO THIS MODEL MOTORCYCLE. UNTIL YOU REPLACE THE REAR SHOCK ABSORBER, THE MOTORCYCLE DOESN'T HANDLE VERY WELL IN TURNS, IT IS VERY UNSTABLE TO DRIVE. AND THIS PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. *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.
