Example complaints

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

“Air induction system (ais), in particular, chrome pipe, rusted out leading to an exhaust leak. It seems that this is a common problem on this motorcycle. Moisture collects in the tube leading to rusting. Some have remove the system or plugged the ais. Since this part of the emmission system leading to exhaust valves I am concerned. A search of the internet sites reveals this happens and the system is being removed.”
