Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“This k1200gt, 2006 model year, has been stalling at speeds >50mph. Many times, the stalls occur at highway speeds 70-80mph with sudden, unexpected deceleration, and loss of brakes (they are power assisted by the motor). Many occurrences have resulted in near misses in regards to accidents. Initial findings be a repairing dealer indicated that it was incompatible fuel type (ie fuels containing ethanol, water in fuel, etc) but the problem continues after switching fuel grades and stations. Problem seems to exist or appears more rampantly when ambient temperature is above 60. …”
