Example complaints

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

“Sitting at a traffic light, the engine overheated and as soon as the throttle was applied, the motorcycle stalled out. Using an infrared thermometer, cylinder temperatures measured 280 degrees in the front cylinder and 380 degrees in the rear cylinder. This measurement was taken with the motorcycle not having been ridden, just sitting and idling for 15 minutes. The heat is dangerous on this motorcycle and h-d's recommendations involve spending hundreds if not thousands to make a brand new motorcycle comfortable and safe to ride. This is completely unacceptable. …”
