That will make some folks happy!

 

Notice they never actually acknowledge the issue directly though. The words "some" and a rage of RPM and gears will allow them to have some variability is legal issues.

:lol Typical corporate bullshit.

Bout time they at least come up with something.

 

Thank you, sir, for posting that up. Thats great news!!!!!!! :thumbup

Just let us know, when there is a final resolution, so we can take our bikes in.


:riding

Peace,
Mr. C

 

What about us who have modified the exhaust, like the graves cat eliminator systems...?

 

Sweet - June 6th our bikes will be perfect!

Intermittent Slow Acceleration in Low Gears – 2007 YZF-R1

Some 2007-model YZF-R1 motorcycles may intermittently experience less than ideal acceleration from approximately 5000 rpm in lower gears. Yamaha is currently investigating this issue and we expect to have information about a resolution by early June.

If a customer expresses concerns about such an experience, do normal diagnostic tests to eliminate any problem such as fuel delivery or ignition.
If no abnormal condition is found, please contact your RTA after June 6th for further assistance.

What it breaks down to is beginning June 6, 2007 owners of the 2007 Yamaha R1 that are having random lower gear issues will be given the opportunity to have the issue fixed by there local Yamaha dealer.

Thanx Spidey !!! Your the Man!!!!!!!! Great news!!!!!!!!!!:rock

Defenitly some BS!!!:bs
How about, " ALL US Models experience this lag at exactly 55k RPM
in 2nd Gear Only!!!" that would be a better description of the issue!! $.02

What about us who have modified the exhaust, like the graves cat eliminator systems...?

Still Stock Baby!!!:thumbup .
But it shouldnt Matter!!

 

If you gut or remove the cat doesn't it void your factory warranty! I still have all the stock stuff, just wondering?

 

According to the LAW, it will only void your warranty if the product you installed is responsible for the damage. However in reality, people will have different experiences with different dealers.

 

I was in the local dealership yesterday and asked if they new of a fix coming for that issue. They had no clue of what I was talking about. The gave me the :dundun: look as if I was trying to bull$hit them. Man, I really appreciate this R1-Forum. I've been learning a lot and I have become addicted! Keep up the good work!:thumbup

 

Thanks Spidey!!! I guess when the yamaha rep told my dealer it would only be a few more weeks, he may have been telling the truth. I'm really interested to see how they fix this.

 

Thanks for the typical "Sabian" post... Sabian.. :fact Please don't turn this into a rant (anyone) as the problem is being FIXED so this is a good thing for everything! Despite some of the prior posts from people suggesting otherwise we've been supporters of this fix from the start :fact

-----------------------

This is a direct quote from a Yamaha tech. bulletin that was JUST released. Most dealers unless they are logged into the Yamaha system right now will not have much insight on this. It's not meant to elaborate into the issue only that there is a fix.

Thank you Yamaha :fact

 

Sorry Shane.

 

1. dumb question: what is RTA ?
2. thanks for the info and updates SpidermanSS

 

they're coming correct-good deal

 

Thanks for the info and updates SpidermanSS

 

Reginal tech assistance?? I appreciate the news, spidy, you the man. Im waiting for a call now, from my dealer........

 

Yeah, can't wait til June for the fix. Those assholes at my local yammie are a bunch of weasels, dumb or dishonest I can't tell. I naggrd about the problem and they gave me the look as if I'm a rookie and don't know anything about the bikes. Hell, I've been raping bikes way before they had the idea of open the dealership and washed their hands after the bike is sold.

 

:thumbup Shane

 

Great news..... Can't wait till June 6......


Stan

 

Props to Shane for getting this info to us! :thumbup

 

+1:bow
all those people who bought the 06 because of the 07 lag will be pissed.
Hehe!!!:sing:

 

I'm interested to know what the extent of "The Fix" will be. I only have one question now....What will we complain about? The bike will be absolutely perfect.

 

+1
and how are they planning on fixing it????

 

Thanks to all the guys who kept this issue in the spotlight. You guys made this happen!

 

Thanks Spidey!!! Cant Wait To See What The Fix Is!!!

 

I would like to thank Yamahog, adamsys, flashgorden and a few others for all there work on this issue. WE tried to push this as long as we could to get everyone on board with this issue since December. It looks like after all the work and bitching we put up with from most people here that said to ride around it.... we finally have got enough attention to this subject from Yamaha.

Let's just hope it does get resolved.

Thanks guys.

 

I would also like to add that this being on the front page now is kind of funny Shane.... not to call you out at all bro cause you know I would not do that... but it would have been nice to put the pressure on yamaha (via the front page) back when this issue was first noticed as well.

Either way, we are on our way to a fix now and that's all that matters.

 

Yamaha HAS been apprised of our thread from the GET GO Rhett (I SENT IT TO THEM), straight up the line and I've been working with them on it to get a fix from the get go. I'm not going to actively become the "GO TO" guy for everyone to bitch to about the issue and allow you to over take the entire site with 1000's of threads on it though. We've logged millions of hits to the issue and tens of thousands of hits to your even your web page on the issue as well. So what you think and what happened is two different things. I would've told you via PM if you asked instead of calling me out openly like you did. Anyways it's DONE and fixed, be at the dealership on the 6th to getR done..

This is a good thread so keep anything negative to PM. I should have some fixed ecu reviews for us all to check out soon.

Thanks

 

I have to tell you that I think a lot of people gave up on it. I figured that there would be a fix eventually. Although, when Wheat locked the original thread, I felt we lost a lot of exposure.

I can't take the credit for Closing that Train wreck, wish i could though......Anyway, it's being handled. :fact So lets not dwell in the past. :fact

 

:thumbup Glad to see Yamaha step up to make things right for us 07 owners. I would like to say thanks to everyone that pushed to get the word out.
