The fuel system on the model year is new and different than previous years. This new design has the fuel pump pickup above the lowest point of the tank While traveling at highway speeds on paved roads the engine will stop with approximately 20% of the fuel capacity still remaining in the tank and without warning. The manufacturer has claimed the design is an off road feature that relies on fuel splashing on an absorbent pad from rough terrain- which does not happen on maintained roads. The end result is a highway certified vehicle that stalls during normal operations. Users are encouraged to shake the motorcycle while riding it, or perform dangerous maneuvers to “splash” the fuel to the pickup. Clearly this warrants a mandatory safety recall and solution by the manufacturer to correct.

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.
