Example complaints

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

“I was riding along and the bike died on me. Luckily I was at a traffic light and just began to start out in first gear when it died. I was coming back from a 150 mile trip and was 14 miles from home when it died. Tried jumping it but got no power. When the tow truck guy picked me up, he said it was my stator.”

NHTSA complaint #10587365, filed 2014-05, 31,200 miles

“Electrical system failure. Electrical system fails while riding and restarting the bike. I had no power after riding 50 miles and stopping to refuel. I had just had a new battery installed. A new rectifier and stator was installed fall of 2015. This happened previously when I was driving through a parking lot of a mall and the bike died. In the five years that I have owned this bike, I have installed three batteries d four sets of staters/ rectifiers. I am ready to get rid of the bike. I never know where I might be when the bike will die. This is the most unreliable bike I have ever owned.”

NHTSA complaint #10894654, filed 2016-08, 27,000 miles

“After riding for any amount of distance, once the bike is turned off (say for refueling) you go to start the bike and there is nothing, no power, no head lights, nothing at all...brand new battery checked all the wiring to make sure it was tight and not cracked or broke. This problem happens every once in awhile. Afraid to take it out on any trip not knowing if I will make it home or not.”

NHTSA complaint #10845753, filed 2016-03, 22,000 miles

“Purchased a 2006 Suzuki C90T new in may 2006. In may of 2007 while riding up a city street, motor just died in the middle of high traffic. Almost was hit by several vehicles pushing the motorcycle to the side. Stator unit with signal generator failed. Replaced under warranty at 11,500 miles approx. September 2008 with 26,000 miles, unit failed again after 250 mile ride. Failed in parking garage fortunately. Had it failed coming down steep grades with a passenger the day before, serious injury or even death might have occurred. …”
