Yamaha engine problems
Owners have filed 307 complaints with NHTSA about the engine on Yamaha vehicles — 12% of everything reported about the brand, across 75 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Yamaha Road Star, worst in 2004.
These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
