Example complaints

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

“At approximately 45-35mph, when decelerating, the front end wobbles violently, to the point where you must have your hands firmly on the bars to control it. First noticed when bike was in 3rd gear, let off throttle while cruising to stop and used both hands to zip up jacket; nearly crashed as it wobbled me towards center lane. Was able to replicate nearly every time under those conditions; I.e. Run bike to about 50mph, place hands just about 1 above grips and let bike naturally slow down. At 40-38mph wobble will occur to point where bars are shaking so bad you have to grab them. …”
