What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Motorcycle was already part of the recall for the shifting to neutral issue. This motorcycle has shifted itself to neutral twice after coming to a stop. Each time I attempted to accelerate after the traffic light became green and was unable to move as I was unaware it was in neutral.
What to check before buying
- Powertrain. Shift quality under load, harsh shifts, transmission codes, CV joints.
