2005 Yamaha Warrior

THE REAR CYLINDER VALVES ARE STICKING OPEN WHEN MY 2005 YAMAHA ROADSTAR IS WARMING UP. IT HAPPENS VERY UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER. THIS LOSS OF POWER HAS LEFT ME SITTING ALONG A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY WITH A NARROW SHOULDER AS WELL AS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO DROP THE BIKE DURING A LEFT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I SPOKE WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CLAIMED TO NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM WHILE IT IS WIDELY KNOWN AMONG ROADSTAR RIDERS THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED BY THIS. *JB

SINCE MY 2005 YAMAHA ROAD STAR HAD 3000-3500 MILES ON IT, IT HAS DEVELOPED A SEVERE LOSS OF COMPRESSION IN IT'S REAR CYLINDER. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD BY NOT PRODUCING THE APPROPRIATE ACCELERATION OF SPEED IN CRUCIAL SITUATIONS. AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE WHILE ACCELERATING WHEN MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY. THE MOTORCYCLE OFTENTIMES CANNOT PRODUCE THE SPEED REQUIRED TO SAFELY ENTER INTO A MOVING TRAFFIC LANE. I FEAR BEING HIT OR KILLED IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT, POSSIBLY NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY ENOUGH OUT OF ANOTHER MOTORIST'S WAY. THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY 'STICKY' VALVES/EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD-UP IN THE REAR CYLINDER AND VALVES. NOTE; BECAUSE MY MODEL IS NOT LISTED AMONG THE YAMAHA MOTORCYCLE MODEL'S LISTED IN THE DROP-DOWN MENU IN THIS COMPLAINT, I SELECTED 'WARRIOR' AS IT IS CLOSELY RELATED. THIS HAS CAUSED ME PROBLEM'S WELL IN EXCESS OF 300 TIMES, AS I HAVE NUMBERED IN THE 'FAILURES' BOX BELOW. ALSO, THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENT IS UNKNOWN TO ME. IN THIS COMPLAINT I WAS ASKED TO SELECT A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT AND IN ORDER TO CONTINUE, I CHOOSE AN ARBITRARY ONE, FOR THE SAKE OF COMPLETING AND SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT ONLY. ONE WAS REQUIRED TO CONTINUE, OTHERWISE I COULDN'T ACCOMPLISH COMPLETING THE COMPLAINT. *NM
