Example complaints

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

“The contact stated the turn signal indicator is located on the fuel tank and does not indicate which rear turn signal illuminates. The switch to initiate the turn signal is located on the left handle bar and once engaged returns to a neutral position which also fails to demonstrate which turn signal is engaged. Additionally, the structure frame appeared uneven and physically felt unstable while driving various speeds. The motorcycle was inspected by a dealer who determined this was the design of the motorcycle and could not duplicate the problems. The manufacturer was alerted. …”
