Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Symptoms: 1. Normal riding. 2. Bike jerked violently a few time at cruising speed (70mph), almost bumped me off the bike. Also, bike cut off several time within a 10minutes ride. It happened once during a turn, and that can be dangerous or fatal. 3. Holding the clutch in and immediately re-starting it will always fix the problem... For a short while the bike will run properly.”
