| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 yamaha road star. Since the purchase of this bike i have had problems with sticking valves on the rear cylinder. It's the exhaust valve. When this happened it was a dangerous ride. Heavy traffic with no where to go. Seems yamaha is aware of this situation. It's dangerous to ride. Power goes to nothing and the bike stalls during shifting. *jb |
