Yamaha Yamaha 2001 Complaint

Complaint about POWER TRAIN : MANUAL TRANSMISSION

CAMPOBELLO, SC

Consumer Complaint:
I HAVE A YAMAHA RAPTOR 660R 2001 ATV. THAT HAS MANY FAULTY PARTS ON IT THAT YAMAHA KNEW OF AND CORRECTED IN THE 2002 MODELS. BUT DID NOT OFFER TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE 2001 MODELS. THE PROBLEMS ARE THE TRANSMISSION, STARTER, CLUTCHES AND CARB BOOTS BLOWING OFF. YAMAHA OFFER A UPDATED TRANSMISSION FOR THE 2001 FOR A VERY LARGE PRICE. HOW CAN THEY OFFER TO SELL US THE PARTS THAT WERE FAULITY FROM YAMAHA. NOW MY ATV'S TRANSMISSION IS BROKEN. PLUS THE STARTER WILL HARDLY START THE ATV. IF YOU GO TO RAPTORTRANNY.COM YOU WILL SEE THE PROBLEMS. THAT WEB SITE WAS STARTED JUST FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT THE 2001 RAPTOR HAS. I GOT LESS THAN A YEARS RIDING OUT OF THE ATV IN 3 YEARS. ALSO TO REPLACE JUST THE TRANSMISSION. YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE WHOLE ENGINE APART TO BE ABLE TO ENSTALL THE NEW TRANSMISSION. WITH COST AROUND $1200. THE UPDATED TRANSMISSION GEARS ARE DIFFERANT RATIO'S. PLUS THE GEARS ARE MADE OF HARDER MELTALS AND OR BEEFER LOCKS ON THE GEARS. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU OR I CAN DO ? VIN #JY4AM01321A00987
