“The bike went into limp mode the first time 8 months after purchase and has been in the shop 5 times in one year. Complaints of not shifting correctly and electrical problems along with air shocks leaking and an oil leak ect. I was riding on back country road when I couldn't down sift the bike before going into a corner. Had to power stir the bike around the corner and almost lost control.”
