Example complaints

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

“While riding on hwy the front end starting shaking out of control , my first thought I ran over some thing , applied brake but the brake lever went flat no braking action at all , due to having many years riding experience I just hit the kill switch and used the engine as a brake luckily it worked after getting it stopped I inspected and found my front bearings had fallen apart and out of the front wheel . I only have 16k miles on the bike , well the ABS system works off the wheel bearings , I am suspecting that's why I lost my brakes'' the bearings failed so I lost my braking ability too.. …”
