What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2007 Yamaha XV1900, 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.

From owner reports, verbatim
This vehicles third gear is making noise and about to be non functioning. There are numerous articles of this issue all over the internet. Yamaha has come up with a new part number for the gear. I've called Yamaha USA and they offered no help. This issue is real and there is no help for the owners who's units are affected by this defect. It's a costly repair and one that the manufacturer should cover since their defective gear is the cause of it.
WHILE RIDING HOME FROM WORK, I SHIFTED INTO 3RD GEAR AT ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR AND HEARD A GRINDING SOUND. WHEN I SHIFTED INTO FOURTH, IT WENT AWAY. UPON DOWNSHIFTING, WHEN I DOWNSHIFTED INTO THIRD WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT, I HEARD THE NOISE AGAIN. WHEN I STARTED AGAIN FROM THE RED LIGHT, IT MADE THE NOISE AGAIN, ONLY IN THIRD GEAR. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS MOTORCYCLE HAS BEEN RIDDEN VERY EASY, AND ONLY HAS 16,190 MILES IN 8 YEARS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

WHEN THE BIKE SLOWS DOWN, OR WHEN I ENGAGE THE CLUTCH TO DOWNSHIFT THE BIKE STALLS. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE IS COLD OR COOLER, BUT DOES HAPPEN IN THE SUMMER TIME AS WELL. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES UPON COMING TO A STOP OR COASTING THE ENGINE DIES. THIS EVEN HAPPENED AFTER A SERVICE! THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. VERY DANGEROUS AS I TRAVEL HOUSTON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS DAILY. I HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH OTHER STRATOLINER OWNERS AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A GROWING PROBLEM. IS THERE A KNOWN DEFECT? *TR

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.
