The contact stated that no warning light was illuminated; however, the gear indicator intermittently displayed a dash (-) or neutral instead of the selected gear. The motorcycle was taken to an independent mechanic, who duplicated the failure during a test ride; however, no repairs were performed.
Tire temperature measurements after a long ride confirm a load imbalance: rear tire 99 °F (underheated), front tire 124 °F (overheated). This indicates the rear suspension is not carrying proper load, forcing excessive stress onto the front end.
