guess Yamaha likes to repeat goof ups they had similar issues in 86 with the 1100 , had a recall to split the cases back then.

Can you elucidate on the 1100 ? No need to split the cases for this (mild) one...? :think:

Actually, BMW for example have had a litany of disasters lately, the latest being exploding rear hubs, so I don't think it's confined to 1 particular Manufacturer.

This is way out of any real measurement as the numbers are for failures on four year old motorcycles with no mention of the service records associated with the bikes used as data points. And some sort of adjustment for mileage driven over a 12-month period; whatever that means. The way I see how some treat their motorcycles it's little wonder they have problems.

Reliability by brand

Brand Percent failed

Yamaha/Star 11%
Suzuki 12
Honda 12
Kawasaki 15
Victory 17
Harley-Davidson 26
Triumph 29
Ducati 33
BMW 40
Can-Am 42

I note the Japanese Brands head the Reliability list, pretty much as they do for the 4-wheel sector, no surprises there! (That link doesn't work down here, no biggie!)
