ALMOST DIED TODAY. MY BIKE STALLED FOR THE 17TH TIME AND AS I STALLED, I STOPPED HARD BECAUSE OF THE JOLT OF THE STALL AND MY BAD BACK COULDN'T HANDLE THE WEIGHT BEING OFF BALANCE SO I HAD TO LAY THE BIKE DOWN. AS I WAS FALLING TO THE GROUND, ANOTHER CAR LOCKED UP HER BRAKES TO AVOID KILLING ME IN THE LANE TO THE LEFT. THE BIKE ROUTINELY STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND I AM HOPING THE YAMAHA CORP WILL DO THE HONORABLE THING AND FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET KILLED. I REFUSE TO RIDE ANYMORE AND WILL NOT SELL THE DEATH TRAP TO ANYONE ELSE. SO, PLEASE RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM AS I REALLY LIKE MY BIKE BUT NOT ENOUGH TO DIE ON IT. IT IS UNSAFE TO STALL AT ALL LET ALONE RANDOMLY 4 OUT OF 10 TIMES WHEN THE BIKE GETS HOT.
