Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2012: “While at a stop, motorcycle starts moving while the clutch is fully engaged. Motorcycle needs to be shut off to prevent it from going forward at a red light or stop sign. Can lead to a fatal accident if I'm stopped and motorcycle starts riding forward with the clutch engaged. Happens every single time after I've been riding for about 25 - 30 minutes. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible.”

This only occurs when the bike is heat soaked in conjunction with air temperatures above 90 degrees. …”
