AFTER WARMING UP (E.G. 15-20 MILE RIDE), A SHRIEKING/HOWLING NOISE COMES FROM AREA OF RIGHT REAR. BRAKE ROTOR IS NOT OVERLY HOT, NOR IS THE HUB, WHICH WOULD POSS INDICATE HANGING CALIPER OR SEIZING BEARING. NOISE CONTINUES WITH CLUTCH ENGAGED AND ENGINE AT IDLE. IT CAN BE HEARD OVER EXHAUST WHILE ON THROTTLE. LESS THAN 3000 MILES, BOUGHT BRAND NEW, BUT AFRAID TO RIDE DUE TO NOISE. I HAVE OVER 45 YRS EXPERIENCE IN RIDING, RACING, ETC. BEEN TO DEALER TWICE FOR ISSUE, TOLD "NO PROBLEMS FOUND." DEALERSHIP HAS NOW CHANGED HANDS AND BIKE IS OBVIOUSLY TIMED OUT ON WARRANTY. HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE ABOUT 250 MILES, SINCE 2008. MULTIPLE DEPLOYMENTS IMPEDED TIMELY REPORTING OF ISSUE.

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.
