What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
"rapid decelerating while riding on the interstate" ( first issue). On the morning of december 3rd, 2018 I got on interstate 14 traveling south. After approximately 30 minutes of riding the bike, I noticed that my speed had decelerated from 60 mph to 40 mph.
The 5 bolts that connect the belt pulley to the rear wheel sheared off completely. I was driving down a city street. I had just taken off from a stop light, shifted from 3rd to 4th gear and nothing happened. The bike would not grab and go forward. I tried to shift down and give gas again and nothing.
