Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The tachometer/speedometer gauges on the Honda f6 Valkyrie are hard to read even in daylight due to the color and the style of the lettering on them. At night, it is nearly impossible to read them. This condition presents a safety hazard, in that if the rider attempts to read the gauges, his attention is diverted from the roadway.”
NHTSA complaint #523303, filed 1997-12“Motorcycle displays (gauges) are poorly lit. Backlight illumination is visible in near or total darkness, but at times of dim light, such as found during dawn or dusk, the tachometer/odometer/speedometer are impossible to read due to the fact that the back light and reflected light on the meter are equal.”
