“I own a 2002 Honda vfr 800 motorcycle that has incurred electrical problems that 2 dealers were unable to repair. The electrical problems occurred while I was driving on the highway at highway speeds, and when trying to use turn signals. The headlights went out and the engine died...a very dangerous situation. Now the motorcycle still did the same thing, just that the headlights were practically non functioning ,they came on sometimes when going over a bump but the engines still died whenever I use the turn signals. …”
