Example complaints

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

“I was merging onto a highway leaned into the curve running about 45 MPH when the engine popped and died. When this happened it locked up the rear tire causing the back end of the motorcycle to skid around and when it caught traction it flipped the bike in the opposite side of the way I was leaning launching me into the road. I was applying throttle gently when this occurred and the RPM's were around 3000 at the time. And I was not shifting gears at the time. After a couple of attempts I was able to get the engine started again but the bike made a scrubbing sound if I moved it. …”

“c-clip used to hold transmission gears in place has dislodged from the groove it is supposed to be locked into, allowing the gears to travel more than they are supposed to do, which could result in a transmission lockup and subsequent, potentailly, catastrophic accident.”
