Example complaints
Wheels: “Rear wheel spoke broke while riding at approximately 35 MPH - left, outer spoke. Spoke then pierced the inner tube causing a flat tire and loss of control of the motorcycle. I was able to recover and maneuver the motorcycle to a nearby gas station to arrange for pickup. Upon examination of the wheel, I noticed that the design of the hub flange is angled outward, putting additional stress on the spokes where they bend at the hub, causing them to all curve or bend, rather than go straight between the hub and the rim. …”
