RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL ON TRANSMISSION OF MY 2003 WARRIOR DATED JANUARY 9, 2004. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT MY BIKE FROM, SAYS THEY ARE WAITING ON YAMAHA TO SHIP PARTS TO CORRECT PROBLEM. AS OF TODAY, I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED PARTS FROM YAMAHA. THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP REFERRED ME TO YAMAHA CUSTOMER RELATIONS @800-962-7926, IT HAS BEEN TERMINALLY BUSY. I AM STILL WAITING ON A SOLUTION AFTER 2 MONTHS AND SAFETY RECALL SAYS DO NOT RIDE. THIS VECHICLE IS MY DAILY TRANSPORTATION.

CAMPAIGN # 03V309000 MY ROAD STAR HAS BEEN AT MY DEALER SINCE 1/16/04 WAITING FOR THE REPAIR. I THINK ALMOST TWO MONTHS IS REASONABLE TIME FOR THE REPAIR. DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL RECIEVE NECESSARY PARTS.*AK

TWO MONTHS AGO CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER REGARDING TRANSMISSION. DEALERSHIP STILL DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO CONDUCT RECALL FREPAIRS. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED ,AND INDICATED THAT CONSUMER SHOULD WAIT UNTIL THE MONTH OF MAY. *AK

YAMAHA WARRIOR MOTORCYCLE RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION PART. YAMAHA HAS REFUSED TO SHIP PARTS TO REPAIR THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THEY HAVE ADVISED TO NOT RIDE MOTORCYCLE BUT I STILL CONTINUE TO MAKE PAYMENTS FOR THE BIKE AND INSURANCE. THEY HAVE NO ESTIMATED DELIVERY FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. IF IT SITS IN THE SHOP FOR 45 DAYS DOES IT FALL UNDER THE NEW YORK STATE LEMON LAW? I WOULD RATHER JUST GET IT FIXED BUT YAMAHA WILL NOT ASSIST WITH THAT ENDEAVOR.*AK
