Example complaints

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

“The bike completely went dead while riding. It turned out to be a wire in the wiring harness was rubbed through the insulation where the wiring harness runs under the fuel tank causing the master fuse to blow. If this would have happened on a busy road at night I could have crashed or been run over. There have been many reports of chafed wires in the same location on the vulcan forums.”
