Example complaints
Steering: “The bike tips or veers to the right everytime it is ridden. The problem is more apparent at speeds above 35mph and is not affected by the crown of the road. Extra steering effort is required especially at highway speeds as the bike always wants to tip into to the right side of the road. This compromises safety of both the rider and those around since during braking (especially emergency braking) the bike may lowside (fall to the side).”
