This Problem Across All Years
PURCHASED 2007 YAMAHA YZFR1 LAST SEPTEMBER. THE BIKE EXHIBITED A LAG IN THE THROTTLE AROUND 5,000 RPM, AND THE ENGINE WILL ALSO STALL AT RANDOM, USUALLY AT THE WORST TIME. THIS BIKE HAS STALLED AT LEAST 20 TIMES AT INTERSECTIONS, AND STALLED ANOTHER 6 TIMES JUST YESTERDAY! THE THROTTLE LAG ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED BY A DEALER. THE STALL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THE STALL PROBLEM SCARES ME. IT MAY LEAD TO MY DEATH!!! YAMAHA NEEDS TO FIX THIS NOW! *TR

I KNOW IN FACT I'M NOT THE FIRST TO MAKE A COMPLAINT REGARDING AN ISSUE THAT I HAVE ON MY 2007 YAMAHA YZF R1 MOTORCYCLE. THE FOLLOWING IS THE BEST DESCRIPTION I CAN GIVE FOR A THROTTLE LAG PROBLEM IN THE 2ND GEAR AT APPROXIMATELY 5000-5500 RPM. THE MOTORCYCLE WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE OPENING AND HESITATES FOR APPROX. 2 SECONDS BEFORE IT WILL ACCELERATE. I FOR ONE THINK THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY DURING INTERSTATE RIDING WHEN THE NEED TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY EXISTS. AT THIS POINT YAMAHA HASN'T RESPONDED TO THE PROBLEM AND I AM A MEMBER OF R1 FORUM.COM AND THE MAJORITY OF OWNERS OF THE 2007 MODEL HAS EXPERIENCED. I AM HOPING THAT NHTSA CAN HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM THAT YAMAHA REFUSES TO CORRECT AND HOPEFULLY GET A RECALL ISSUED. ANY HELP WITH THIS MATTER WOULD TRULY BE APPRECIATED. *JB

THE ELETRONIC THROTTLE (FLY BY WIRE) SYSTEM HAS A DANGEROUS LAG @5500 RPM IN 2ND GEAR. IF YOU DRIVE IN 2ND GEAR AT 5500 RPM FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE, THE MOTOR DOESN'T RESPOND AS IT SHOULD. IT VERY SLOWLY ACCELERATES. THIS IS REPRODUCIBLE EVERY TIME.
