Example complaints

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

“Since the bike was new it has a severe stumble at low speeds when the engine is not at full operating temperature. The motorcycle acts as if it's not getting enough air or fuel or both and will lose power. If you attempt to compensate by adding more throttle it will take off suddenly, sometimes with near disastrous results. This has happened since new and three times I was in mortal danger, once with my wife on the back of the bike. …”
