The motorcycle's engine quit suddenly without warning.

A recall by yamaha is needed. This has been a known fjr issue for three years.

Electrical System · at 24,350 miles · reported Feb 14, 2010
There were no memorable events leading up to the failure. There are no modifications to the motor, electrical, or ignition systems. All systems remain stock from the dealer/manufacturer. The motor was cutting in and out like there was an electrical interruption. At the same time that the motor was cutting in and out, the turn signals and high beams indicator would turn on for as long as the motor was cutting in and out, which was very fast (Example: .5 second). This condition continued for 3 months with no regularity. The complete failure finally occurred while traveling home from work on the…
