I WAS RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE IN THE DAY TIME LATE SUMMER 2014, THEN DECIDED TO STOP AT THE BARBER SHOP FOR A HAIR CUT. I PARKED THE MOTORCYCLE IN FRONT THEN WENT INSIDE. WHEN MY HAIR CUT WAS FINISHED, I GOT ON THE BIKE THEN TRIED TO START IT BUT IT WOULD NOT START. I TRIED PUSH STARTING IT, JUMPING IT, AND STILL NO STARTING. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY SO IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED PARTS AND STARTED THE MOTORCYCLE. THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AFTERWARDS, ABOUT TWICE MORE THAT SAME YEAR, THEN THE NEXT YEAR, SPRING 2015, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME IT LEFT ME STRANDED DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN. ON EACH OCCASION THE MOTORCYCLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER, EACH TIME THEY REPLACED A PART, UNDER WARENTY, WHICH ALLOWED THE MOTORCYCLE TO START AGAIN. THE FOLLOWING YEAR, 2016, MY WARENTY HAD EXPIRED BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN, I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER TO COMPLAIN EACH OCCASION. AFTER THE WARENTY HAD EXPIRED, THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME AND BECAME IRATE AND DISRESPECTFUL DURING THE CONVERSATION. NOW AGAIN, SPRINT 2017, MY MOTORCYCLE WILL NOT START.

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
