Example complaints

Fuel system: “For over a year now my Scout will uncontrollably rev in low gears after getting hot. This happens at stops and going into turns most commonly. Multiple times it has almost caused me to wreck and if I were a less experienced rider I would have. I have contacted multiple dealers to attempt an under warranty fix and have been told they have fix and that they arent even aware of the problem.”

NHTSA complaint #10870222, filed 2016-05, 600 miles

Vehicle speed control: “Motorcycle experiences repeated throttle surges when attempting to decelerate. Problem worsens with increased ambient temps during summer months. Surges are most evident when attempting to slow to a stop or initiate a turn.”

NHTSA complaint #10865471, filed 2016-05, 300 miles

Brakes: “I applied the brakes to slow quickly and the rear brake was inoperable. The front brake locked and I skidded into a grassy ditch. The bike laid down on the right side. There was cosmetic damage on the right side of the bike but the rear brake lever moves freely and when activated, the lever sticks without applying the brake. Per the dealership, the rod pulled through the washer. The dealership sent the entire system- master cylinder, caliper, lines, and pedal- to the company at their request. …”
