Example complaints

“I just got on to my bike and comming up to a curve at the end of my street I grabbed my front brake and had no brake response at all. It resulted in me crashing into a fence at low speed. Harley has recalled the ABS on older model bikes but mine has the same module as those bikes recalled. No recall has been made on 2014 bikes yet.”
NHTSA complaint #11152324, filed 2018-11, 2,300 miles“I thought I was flashing my brake lights to warn drivers behind me that I was slowing down to make a turn..I noticed that the driver behind me was not slowing down!! I decided to not make that turn and kept going to prevent me from getting hit. Pulled over to check my brake lights. I found that they do not activate until there is significant pressure applied to the front brake lever. The brake lights should be illuminated as soon as the brake lever is pulled before the brake pads contact the rotor! When coming to a normal stop, I stop and look to see if my brake lights are lit up. …”
