Example complaints

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

“I was riding at about 30mph on a highway and the engine suddenly died. I had to coast over to the shoulder to stop. The gauges stayed on, the kill switch was in the run position, but the engine would not start (starter would not engage) until I turned the ignition key off then back on. Then it started back up as usual, and I rode on to work. …”
