Brakes: “I purchased this motorcycle on 1/17/2014. On 1/18/2014 I took this vehicle for a ride. The front brakes operated but had very little deflection or movement from the brake lever. The front brake lever was extremely hard to pull. I contacted the dealer and was told that this was normal. I continued to ride the vehicle and I noticed that not only were the brakes hard to engage, they also would not hold at red lights. I then brought this to the attention of the dealer and I was told that the hmu had a sticking valve and that it needed to be replaced at the tune of $1200.00. …”
