2007 Yamaha V-Star 650 Custom review from United States of America
"Piece of crap"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The bike stalls as soon as you pull in the clutch, when it was 4 week old. The dealer told me it was bad gas, and I had to use stable because I wasn't driving it often enough. It has now been in the shop for the same problem, although not as severe, 3 times. I have kept stable in the fuel the entire time. I am a woman and relatively inexperienced rider, who has now lost all confidence in this motorcycle. I also think I have purchased a lemon, and am about to enforce the lemon law.
