Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“At highway speeds, especially in traffic, the bike begins to wobble and becomes hard to control. I list an incident date of 04/29/2020 below, but this has happened many times since I bought it on 04/11/2020.”

NHTSA complaint #11322801, filed 2020-04, 1,100 miles

“At high speeds the rear end of the motorcycle shakes and torques like a snake. It does not increase with wind. It almost feels like you lose control of the vehicle.”

NHTSA complaint #11196695, filed 2019-04, 100 miles

“I'm a recent owner of this motorcycle and have experienced a consistent feeling of what motorcyclists refer to as a Death wobble or at a minimum the beginnings of one. It happens during interstate highway speeds and predominantly during heavy traffic and it's magnified even more while approaching and passing tractor-trailers. I've been riding motorcycles both competitively as well as for personal use for well over 40 years and have NEVER experienced this phenomenon with any other motorcycle I've owned, well over 30 different models at this point. …”
