Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The panels on the right hand side get excessively hot, to the point of burning my inner right thigh & right foot. The exhaust is too close to the panels and the panels and screws get hot to the point you cannot touch them without being burned. And cannot ride with your legs against the body. I have reported this issue to the dealer and was told this is normal .”
NHTSA complaint #10542236, filed 2013-09, 25 miles“I took a trip to georgia on october 24, , and on sunday morning, october 26, when I started the spyder to leave, it began to stall at idle, it cut off repeatedly, and idled rough. It wouldn't maintain the normal idle range of 1200-1300 RPM. I finally was able to drive it off, and as I rode, the idle was rough for a few miles, but after I got it on the freeway, it seemed okay. Once again, the heat issue and fuel smells became evident as I rode back to alabama, and the outside temperature rose. …”
NHTSA complaint #10650745, filed 2014-10, 9,150 miles“We are paying for a motorcycle we cannot ride due to a recall and no one can seem to tell us when it will be fixed. Recall letter states it will be resolved by may of 2015 - 2 days left in may and still not notified of how it will be fixed - we cannot ride this vehicle as it could catch on fire - we live in florida where temperatures are extremely hot - consequently, we have not been able to ride our motorcycle due to this recall - we contacted brp and they advised us not to ride the vehicle so we are making payments on something we cannot use or sell due to a recall - not a happy consumer!”
