Filings by Yamaha with the Federal government’s Safety Recall "department" indicate that between 29,000 and 53,000 Yamaha motorcycles manufactured with defective transmission parts that can cause the transmission and rear wheel to lock up while in motion, which can throw the driver out of control, possibly causing severe injury or even death.

Yamaha has reported to the Federal government that only about 6,000 or so of these motorcycles were repaired.
