Example complaints

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

“While gaining speed up on ramp to the freeway all power shut down on the bike. I pulled to the side and cycled the ignition switch. I then wiggled wires below the switch and was able to start the bike. It died three more times before I reached home. Each time moving the wires would allow power to return.”

NHTSA complaint #10239473, filed 2008-08, 21,992 miles

“Riding on hwy when all power lost leaving me in the dark (2 different times). Almost ran off road due to instant darkness in rural areas. 2 times switch has been replaced, waiting to have this happen again is very disheartening.”
