Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Ignition fuse blew on several occasions in past 2 years causing motorcycle to quit in traffic, inspected wiring harness replaced fuse, no defects noted. While traveling on the highway, the motorcycle died, I was able to get it to the side of the highway but replacing the fuse didn't help, it blew again upon turning the ignition key. Had it towed home and after troubleshooting the failure, I traced it to a chafed wire on the in-tank fuel pump. After researching, I found it to be a fairly common failure. …”
