Example complaints

Engine: “After completing a turn onto city street it just quit as if you hit the kill switch. I was 3 miles from home and it did this again twice before I reached home. It failed to start again at the gated entrance. At this point when I tried to restart it had lost all compression. Clear to me that the recall on that issue was the problem. I pushed it the rest of the way home.”

Fuel system: “I just purchased a lightly used c650gt with 992 miles on july 23rd, 2013. Eleven days later with about 200 miles on the bike and I encountered a stalling issue. At first, it stalled in a turn riding out of my neighborhood. Restarted immediately. Road the bike for 1.7 miles to a friends house with no issue. Riding out from that neighborhood and it stalled again. Although I had 3/8's of a tank of gas - I rode to the gas station stalling as I turned into the station. Fueled up and started the engine. Pulling out of the gas station the engine stalled. …”

Electrical system: “Scooter stalled 7 times between june 21 and june 23. Air temp above 90 each day. All happened while bike was coasting. On one occasion had me clenching buttocks fairly hard because of near drop in a turn due to engine switching to fancy german silence mode( like airwolf!) . Bike previously at dealer because of stalling after throttle was gently opened. Dealer could not duplicate this type of stalling after 3 weeks and 57 miles. …”

Vehicle speed control: “I was 2nd in line at a stop sign. The truck ahead of me pulled out and I advanced. As I released the throttle to come to a stop the engine stalled. There was still power as all dash lights were on. The motor just quit. It happened 4 additional times that day with one time putting my life in peril as there was oncoming traffic and I had taken a right-on-red. Two days later it happened 2 times and then the day the dealership came to pickup the motorcycle I tested it in the parking lot one last time and it happened again. …”
