Example complaints

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

“On three occasions, after the motorcycle was not riddin for several months, the rear brakes stopped working after the first depression of the brake pedal. The rear brake master cylinder internal piston would not return to its normal position after releasing the brake pedal. Fortunatly I have, on all three occasions never been out of my driveway before discovering this problem, as I was on each occasion just dong a pre trip check of the machine. The first time this occurred I took the motorcycle to the dealer that I purchased it from. …”

NHTSA complaint #11192400, filed 2019-03

“When engine is hot, approximately 170F+ per oil temperature gauge, rear brake lights remain ON after only pressing the rear brake pedal. Seems to be more prevalent when motorcycle is stationary. Lights will only turn OFF after cooling and the engine is turned OFF and then ON again. This has happened multiple times. Has not happened with front brakes.”
