“I was headed to work. I made a right hand turn toward the interstate then my dash went blank. I tried to give the bike gas and it just bogged down then in jerked me forward then it came to a complete stop. I tried to cut the bike on and it would turn over the starter. So that following week I bought a brand new battery I put it in the bike it fired up quickly but I didn't ride long just around the block a few times. The next day I tried to ride and the dash went blank again then the bike cut off on me again.”
