| Description of the problem | Sticking valves caused the motorcycle to run very poorly in traffic and loss of power, resulting in necessary stops on highways. I have previously spoken with yamaha dealers, and they have tried to make it seem like it was my fault. They said a valve job would run around $1000. 00. This problem had been occurrring since the motorcycle was 1 month old in january 2005. *ak |
