A CELL IN THE BATTERY SHORTED AND THE CAP TO THAT CELL MELTED OFF. I WAS VERY CONCERNED THAT THE BATTERY WOULD EXPLODE OR LEAK ACID ONTO THE REST OF THE MOTORCYCLE. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS HAPPENED DURING ONE OF MY RIDES, BUT I DID NOTICE IT DURING A PRE-RIDE INSPECTION. THE DEALER WAS KIND ENOUGH TO SEND A REPLACEMENT LITHIUM BATTERY. *TR

WHILE RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE, THE SHIFT LEVER BROKE IN TWO. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE MOTORCYCLE SAFELY OFF THE ROAD AND RECOVER THE PART THAT WAS ON THE ROAD. UPON INSPECTION, I FOUND THAT THE LEVER HAD BROKEN AT A WELDED AREA. UNDERNEATH THE WELDS WAS RUST. THIS MAKES ME CONCERNED THAT ANY OF THE WELDS ON THE MOTORCYCLE CAN HAVE RUST UNDERNEATH THEM, ESPECIALLY ON A MOTORCYCLE THAT IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. *TR

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.
