Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Heat coming off the exhaust/engine makes the bike unbearable to ride...especially when the weather gets warmer and you are stopped or going slowly in traffic. It will burn your right calf severely and harley davisdon refuses to admit the problem or offer a remedy for it. Also rear brakes squeal constantly and are barely adequate for stopping.”
NHTSA complaint #10400948, filed 2011-05, 10 miles“Rider experienced 2nd degree burns due to heat emanating from the engine during hot weather and stop-and-go traffic; rear cylinder shuts off and then motorcycle runs poorly (no acceleration); also affects braking (rear brake gets mushy ); has resulted in discoloration of horn and air filer cover; oil pressure drops to 0; have had to replace 2 qts. Of oil in 1300 miles; literally was smoking ; ambient temp. Pegged out at 120 degrees. Extreme safety hazard to rider and dealer can offer no solution; can't even tune the motorcycle because they can't dyno a trike.”
