Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After fuel fill up or in normal operation I have erratic and inaccurate fuel gauge reading. At first the gauge wouldn't read any fuel level and after running the self test would operate normally. The gauge appeared to be working, but during a ride it stopped functioning and I ran out of fuel not knowing how much fuel I had. I was able disengage the engine and coast to clear traffic. The errors first occurred about april 2009 and would reappear infrequently. …”
NHTSA complaint #10348380, filed 2010-08, 6,000 miles“After work I started the engine and allowed it to warm up while I put on my protective riding gear (jacket, helmet, and gloves). The engine was running normally as I rode to the end of the parking lot slowly and stopped at the end of the lane. I began to turn to the right, releasing the clutch and rolling on the throttle while leaning when the engine suddenly lost all power resulting in a crash. After picking the bike up and resetting the ignition, it ran very roughly (as if running on one cylinder) and stalled. …”
NHTSA complaint #10353436, filed 2010-09, 8,856 miles“Gas gauge will not show how much gas you have in the fuel cell. This can cause you to run out of gas and possibly be run into by vehicles following you. Being fuel injected when you run out of gas, the motorcycle will just shut down. This can lead to a very dangerous situation as the bike weighs 650 lbs.”
