I bought this motorcycle new on Apil 4th 2025 and after 200 miles my engine stopped while cruising and couldn’t turn it on. A pickup truck picked it up and brought to the dealer who claimed a software issue. This happened again recently, was driving at 60mph on an interstate and the engine suddenly shut off. I tried to contact the dealer without success and I’ve been reading blog posts about a known problem with the electrical component near the throttle/starter which prompts the bike to turn off in unknown and unpredictable situations. I find this very risky and you should investigate to possibly consider a recall for this type of vehicles.

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.
