What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
While applying the front brake, the handlebars rotated in the attachment clamps, causing immediate loss of control and crash. The driver went over the handlebars, and the motorcycle landed on top of him. The motorcycle was on a highway, but almost stopped.
While riding at 60 mph, the motorcycle stalled and several warning indicators illuminated. The motorcycle was towed to cycle one motorsports (46 n orange blossom trail, orlando, [ZIP], [phone]) where it was diagnosed that the ecu needed to be replaced. The motorcycle was repaired; however, the failure recurred.
