07 FJR - Altitude Surge Problem Lawsuit

[twowheelnut]

So yours must be reading incompetence. You even quoted my last 2 words. I said 'Any proof?', not 'insider' speculation on post #14; there was plenty of that with the overheating Wing problem, and nothing ever happened before I sold my bike one year and a half later. If problem is not officially acknowledged by Yamaha, it doesn't mean squat: it could be fixed tomorrow, next year, or never, because they never acknowledged anything. One more to the 'ignore' list (should have done it a while ago) to avoid a pissing contest here.
Any smart owner knows a dealer can't fix the problem, so unless looking to pursue legal action (lemon law, lawsuit), which I'm not, it'd be a total waste of time. I'd rate myself as 90% more patient than the other afflicted folks here, and I'm far from running out of patience, but everyone has a limit. If that time comes, knowing me, I'd probably just sell the damn thing and cut my losses, but if there's a good likelihood of success thru legal means, you bet your a$$ I'd try, and then deal with the BS requirements like dumping bike at dealer (and let it bake in the sun, rain...), etc. Good day folks.

You hit the ignore button?!. Man up. 'Waaaaaaa, someone disagrees with me! Waaaaaa. Make him go away! Waaaaa.' Sheesh!

Dude, did you get beat up a lot as a kid or sumpin'? Jeeze, insider information is often better than official announcements. In this case, the source has proven reliability. But you go on suing people for no other reason than to further push up rates and push out companies. Don't forget to argue for pain and stress compensation.

As for your Wing comparison, my experience was wholly different than yours, so I call ******** on your comments there, too. My dealer took care of mine promptly and without discussion. Must be you are the reason your dealer doesn't want your bikes back.

And, good day to you too. :bye:

Is this the dogpile Friday tread?

You guys want your bikes fixed, or just a hurry up wrong solution. I say Back Off give Yamaha a chance to do it right.

It's hard to dog pile when the pilers are on the pilees ignore list. We will just have to have fun amongst ourselves.

I am humbled by your supreme, most magnificent awesomeness! I bow before your greatness, oh Ignored One!

******' ***** boys... ya gotta luv 'em just for the entertainment value alone! :good:

Our job is done here. Might I ask the admins, in their infinite (albeit, hilarious!) wisdom to lock this one up? It's cooked and ready for freeze drying.

:dribble: Been off the site for a while. When did all this sue Yamaha stuff start? My dealer here in AZ land has been talking to me all along and said that Yamaha had:

1. Finally been able to duplicate the problem with the help of a lot of riders.

2. Were working on a "fix" for the pressure measuring error.

3. Would take care of the bike once they were satisfied with the fix.

Maybe I'm being hard on them but I think the 'dweebs' that proposed suing Yamaha in a class action suit ought to go stand in the corner and suck their thumbs. What, the hell did they think that Yamaha wasn't going to fix a problem with the bike?

Clearly there is a serious problem with the 07 FJR. The engine surging is well documented by the owners of the 07. The FJR Forum has several threads with lots and lots of details expressing the problem. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website has registered complaints of at least 19 owners. 100% of the complaints describe the altitude surging malfunction.
With so much evidance of a problem, it seems very strange that owners that have contacted Yamaha Corp, their local dealer, etc. get very little in the way of solving the problem or even acknowledge that there is a defect. It appears to me that the personel that interface with the owners are being directed to "act ignorant" of the problem.

I think the FJR is a great product. However, I do expect it to perform correctly and am uneasy just waiting for Yamaha to fix the problem. I would like to ask the owners of the 07 if they would be interested in filing a class action lawsuit. With so much evidance of a problem, I would think that there would be an atty that would take the case.

NHTSA Complaints

This my friends is what is wrong with America today (amongst other things). Every time somebody is inconvinienced, instead of giving the other party time to sort out the problem, It turns into WAAAH WAAAAAH WAAAAH Im getting my Lawyer. Geez people im getting so sick of bed wetters.

To cut through all the points and counterpoints, here's a seperate thought...

Morally right or not, which would cost more, paying even the initial retainer for an attorney or ordering a PCIII to get you by in the meantime until Yamadog puts out the amended EFI unit?

Simple, blind question to all the other soapboxing, which would cost less? I got a PCIII from CycleMart for $256 shipping included (free). I know my divorce attorney billed me by the 10-minute period to even read my emails to him and charges $250/hour.

If you think you could sue for less than 1 hour worth of counsel time, I'd LOVE to meet your attorney.

I said it in the other thread and I'll say it here. The mindset of "adapt and overcome" that was pounded into my generation's head, both in the military and in school, seems to have been lost these days. Everyone has a sense of ultra-finicky entitlement to everything all the time. Pitiful, IMHO.

 

[SecuLaw]

I'm a lawyer and worse, I'm a trial lawyer.

I handle some of the most complex litigation tried in the US (look at my moniker and see if you can figure it out).

$250 an hour is what is charged for a first year doesn't know anything associate. You don't want to know my rate.

If there is a defect in the 07 (mine hasn't suffered the problem, but I'm not saying it doesn't exist) the quickest and cheapest method of having the problem resolved is the NHTSA. Don't gripe here, gripe there...a lot and then some more.

One other point, men who tell and like lawyer jokes have been scientifically proven to have small penises. Oh, and the Shakespeare quote ("Kill all the lawyers"), if you understood the reason for the statement you wouldn't quote it as an indictment of lawyers, it actually means the opposite.

Oh, and the Shakespeare quote ("Kill all the lawyers"), if you understood the reason for the statement you wouldn't quote it as an indictment of lawyers, it actually means the opposite.

The original reason for the statement is irrelevant. We just like the sound of it in a modern application.

Yes, ignorance is bliss. :glare: I count on it.

Wow, those embarassed Yammi engineers should hang their heads in shame and just bow down to the mighty C14!...first (in the words of one member) some of us are riding Gen1 bikes which aint worth a dime and now the altitude surge issue on (some) GenII's.

FWIW, I love my bike (and all FJR's for that matter) and all it's faults and say give Yammi a chance to fix it...
