2007 Yamaha Stratoliner Problems

Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

What this page shows

Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2007 Yamaha Stratoliner, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.

Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

THE MOTORCYCLE SPEEDOMETER , ODOMETER PANEL LEAKS MOISTURE AND AS A RESULT DOES NOT SHOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK OR HOW MANY MILES ON THE BIKE . ALSO SPEEDOMETER SOMETIMES FAILS AS WELL DUE TO FAULTY SEALANT AND OR PART OF THE MOTORCYCLE . I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALER AND THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT. DEALER TOLD ME THAT LOTS OF MODELS OF THIS YEAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NO SPARE PARTS FOR 4 YEARS NOW.

YAMAHA HAS A DEFECTIVE 3RD GEAR ISSUE WITH THE XV1900 MOTORCYCLES IN THE YEARS 2006 AND 2007. MY THIRD GEAR STARTED GRINDING DURING NORMAL OPERATION, WHICH MAKES IT TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ANY LONGER, AS MAINTAINING SPEED IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT YAMAHA HAS NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL FOR YET. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 06 ROADLINER. THIS ISSUE WAS DUE TO DEFECTIVE PARTS AND NOT DUE TO ABUSE OR NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
