Engine and engine cooling:exhaust system:manifold/header/muffler/tail pipe
Problem: Vehicle description: on certain road star motorcycles, if the bolts holding the exhaust system are allowed to loosen, the bracket holding the mufflers can break.
Risk: If this occurs, the broken bracket and the mufflers could fall loose from the motorcycle, damaging or pulling loose the rear hydraulic brake hose, causing loss of rear brake performance. The loose muffler parts could also present a traffic hazard for those around the motorcycle. Additionally, the rider could be distracted as the mufflers fall loose, leading to a crash.
Fix: Dealers will install a new muffler bracket. Owner notification began march 27, 2001. 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 1-800-6-yamaha (1-800-693-6242).
