Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I experienced a front brake lock-up that threw me off the bike, and almost got ran over by the car behind me. It seemed that it could have been the calipers, but don't know for sure. I was going at 20 miles per hour as was starting to accelerate from a stop light. I called the local dealer as the bike is brand new, and they came and picked it up under the warranty.”
