Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“While up-shifting gears from 2nd to 3rd the clutch failed and I could not disengage the transmission. I manually down-shifted to first to slow down then turned into a parking lot to get out of traffic and tried to find neutral to be able to stop safely but ran out of space before I had to apply the brakes and stall the engine. As the engine began to stall the motorcycle started to jump & buck and I lost control and fell over. I extended my leg to try and stay upright but could not hold the bike upright and sprang or jammed my knee. …”
