2006 STRATOLINER "S" HAS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH SPEEDOMETER LIGHT GLARE REFLECTING OFF OF THE FACTORY WINDSHIELD. THE GLARING LIGHT WHICH REFLECT IS SO BAD, I NEARLY CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE LATE AT NIGHT. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP TO MY DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT YAMAHA FAILS TO LISTEN AND CREATE A SPEEDOMETER GLARE SHIELD TO PREVENT THE BRIGHT SPEEDOMETER LIGHT FROM REFLECTING ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. THE PROBLEM IS SO SEVERE THAT ALL STRATOLINER OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS IN ALL ONLINE YAMAHA FORUMS. WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?! THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA BEFORE! DOES ONE OF US, STRATOLINER OWNERS, HAVE TO DIE??

07V147000 · Vehicle Speed Control:cables

Apr 2, 2007

ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, WHEN EQUIPPED WITH A WINDSHIELD, THE THROTTLE CABLES CAN KINK AT THE GUIDE BRACKET LOCATED AT THE STEERING HEAD WHEN THE HANDLEBAR IS TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT. IN THIS POSITION, A KINKED CABLE CAN CAUSE EITHER A STICKLY THROTTLE FEELING OR PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO THE CLOSED POSITION.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: IF THE RIDER TURNS THE HANDLEBAR TO THE FULL LEFT LOCK DURING A SLOW-SPEED MANEUVER, THIS STICKY/BINDING THROTTLE FEELING COULD RESULT IN REDUCED VEHICLE CONTROL, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE GUIDE BRACKET WITH A NEW ONE THAT HAS AN ADDITIONAL GUIDE TO PREVENT THE THROTTLE CABLES FROM KINKING. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 19, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT YAMAHA AT 1-800-962-7926.
