Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While riding the Trike stalls out while stopped at traffic lights, or stop signs. Took it to harley, they said nothing was wrong with it. After riding for fourty years, pretty sure I know is something is wrong, and there is! After researching online, I find that I am not alone with this problem, and that the fix is a faulty safety switch on the clutch. The Trike will only start in neutral, which it should start in gear with the brakes applied, this is a sign that the switch is bad. …”
