Yamaha fuel system problems

Owners have filed 299 complaints with NHTSA about the fuel system on Yamaha vehicles — 12% of everything reported about the brand, across 67 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Yamaha FJR1300, worst in 2007.

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.
