HELLO, I AM WRITING IN REGARDS TO THE 2007 YAMAHA VSTAR 1100 CUSTOM. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE MID SHAFT BREAKS LEAVING THE NUT TO CHAOTICALLY SHAKE AROUND UNTIL CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO SEIZE. THERE ARE TESTIMONIES ONLINE HUNDREDS OF PLACES. THEY WILL NOT OFFER A RECALL. THEY ARE QUITE SUSPECT CONSIDERING THAT THE STARTER CLUTCH ON THIS MODEL OFTEN MALFUNCTIONS (WHICH I JUST HAD TO REPLACE), A JOB COSTING WELL OVER A GRAND, AND THEY HAVE NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM EITHER. THE MID SHAFT BREAKAGE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO THE RIDER, COULD BE FATAL, YET YAMAHA TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY. I AM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FROM THEM FOR $4000. THIS INCLUDES $1000 FOR THE FAULTY STARTER CLUTCH AND $3000 FOR THE BROKEN MID SHAFT. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
