What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
After the purchase of this motorcycle in december of '09 I have had several occasions to where the motorcycle will just stall. It most cases this happens when pulling in the clutch to come to a stop, afterwards taking off and giving some throttle causes the motorcycle to stall without warning.
What to check before buying
- Electrical system. Scan all modules, test the battery and alternator, inspect connectors near the impact zone.
- Engine and cooling. Radiator and fan after a frontal hit, coolant level and condition, overheating.
- Fuel system. Fuel smell, leaks, rough running, fuel-system codes.
