Example complaints

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

“This occurred when the motorcycle was in a transport carrier. The bike was secured inside the transport trailer with the key so the alarm should not activate the LED load balancer from kuryakyn caught on fire, this is an aftermarket part certified by harley davidson for this application. When I contacted kuryakyn about it, they said they knew about the problem but never recalled the parts and told me the replacement part to order. They told me it's because the alarm was active on the bike and caused the load balancer to overheat and catch fire.”
