What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
This causes the motorcycle physically surge forward and fall back as the power level changes even though the throttle application has remained constant. Under certain conditions such as road surface or lean angle in a turn this issue causes the motorcycle to become extremely unstable.
What to check before buying
- 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.
- Vehicle speed control. Accelerator pedal, cruise control, throttle codes.
