Example complaints

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

“Front tire of motorcycle wears very unevenly not allowing full contact of rubber to meet the road. This creates a dangerous situation as tire is not fully contacting the road surface. It has done this since bike was new and on two sets of tires. I think the rim may be the problem causing this uneven wear. I had two different dealers install tires with the same identical results of poor road contact. Kawasaki of kingman arizona and Kawasaki of rapid city, south dakota.”
