Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2007: “The first time this happened I thought it was just the bike needed a tune up so I did a tune up. Same thing started occurring more often after. The problem lies in going low RPM and low speeds where the motorcycle spits and sputters and 3 out or 5 times it cuts off, leaving the driver with no control over the bike. This issue has not resulted in an accident yet; but is a danger non the less. I have since taken it to two different motorcycle shops and they have yet to determine what the issue is. …”
NHTSA complaint #10667252, filed 2014-12, 37,000 miles2006: “I purchased my bike brand new in 2006 and it has what appears to be cracks/lines on the rims. Have read that others have noticed this to. Now with only 7000 miles on it I removed the gas tank because it was not running correctly. Upon removing the fuel filter/pump from the gas tank I noticed pieces of plastic debris everywhere. It appears that gas ate through the plastic coating on the wires of the fuel filter/pump. Now the bike only sputters when in gear and will not drive. Not sure what to do and if this is going to be a safety problem. …”
