Reported: 2002-07-23 (July 23, 2002) · Model years: 2002
ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE FUEL TANK BRACKET WASHER AND DAMPER DO NOT ADEQUATELY PROTECT THE TANK FROM ENGINE VIBRATION.
Consequence: OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, VIBRATION MIGHT DAMAGE THE TANK WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FUEL LEAK WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL TANK BRACKET WASHER AND DAMPER WITH ONES OF A NEW TYPE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JULY 10,2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT YAMAHA AT 1-800-88-YAMAHA (1-800-889-2624).
Reported: 2003-08-26 (August 26, 2003) · Model years: 2002, 2003
IN THE TRANSMISSION ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE SECOND/THIRD PINION GEAR MAY BE INCORRECTLY MACHINED WHICH COULD CAUSE ABNORMAL WEAR THAT EVENTUALLY RESULTS IN A BROKEN RETAINER CIRCLIP.
Consequence: IF THE CIRCLIP BREAKS, THE TRANSMISSION COULD LOCK UP, WHICH WOULD ALSO CAUSE THE REAR WHEEL TO LOCK UP. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Remedy: YAMAHA WILL REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION GEARS AND SHAFTS WITH NEW ONES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT YAMAHA AT 1-800-88-YAMAHA OR VISIT THEIR WEBSITE AT WWW.YAMAHA-MOTOR.COM.

I OWN A 2002 YAMAHA ROAD STAR WARRIOR. THE FUEL "QUICK DISCONNECTS" ARE IN MY OPINION, DESIGNED & ENGINEERED VERY POORLY. THEY VIBRATE OFF THE SEAT. THEY HAVE NEVER LEAKED FUEL, THE LOCKING TAB MAKES IT STAY LOCKED SO IT WON'T LEAK. HOWEVER, WHEN IT IS AGAINST THE LOCKING TAB, IT MOVES OFF ITS SEAT ABOUT 3/16" AND RESULTS IN NO FUEL FLOW FROM THE UPPER TANK TO THE LOWER TANK WHERE THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP IS. THAT RESULTS IN A "STALL" SITUATION. I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WAITING FOR IT TO TURN GREEN, I STARTED OUT AS I ALWAYS DO. I WAS AT 8 M…
