Example complaints
Electrical system: “I have been operating this motorcycle for 11 months. THREE times, I have accidentally turned the engine off while in city traffic. The on/off switch has a lever which extends too close to the throttle. When wearing gloves it is way too easy to accidentally turn the motorcycle off. The engine stops instantly; tail light, brake light, and, headlight will remain on for another 5 seconds or so.”
NHTSA complaint #11697947, filed 2025-11Engine: “The vehicle engine shuts down at highway speed. The dealer has made three attempts to correct this issue, but it has not been successfully corrected. While operating the vehicle, the engine simply turns off. I demanded to see the engine codes and found the motorcycle's run circuit malfunctions causing the engine to turn off. I was told by the dealer's lead mechanic at the dealer that any electrical issue with any part of the vehicle would cause the entire system to shut down. This has happened on multiple occasions very nearly leading to my death in each instance. …”
NHTSA complaint #11585431, filed 2024-04Fuel system: “Fuel tank and pump were not made to be used with ethanol, which is in almost all available gas in the USA. The fuel pump and tank erode rapidly due to their material reaction to the ethanol. Fuel pump screams loudly on startup and begins to fail pulling fuel to the engine, mileage may vary. Tank corrodes on the inside which speeds up this process.”
