Engine and Engine Cooling

Filed Aug 16, 201915 milesMA

THIS MOTORCYCLE IS PRONE TO STALLING AT INTERSECTIONS. THE ELECTRIC STARTER IS INSUFFICIENT TO RESTART THE ENGINE REQUIRING THE RIDER TO USE THE KICK STARTER TO RESTART THE ENGINE. IT IS COMMON FOR THE MOTORCYCLE'S FRONT WHEEL TO LIFT OFF THE GROUND WHEN ACCELERATING FORWARD FROM A DEAD STOP (WHEELIE), CAUSING A LOSS OF STEERING AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS LIKELY DUE TO THE MOTORCYCLE HAVING A LARGE SIZE ENGINE WITH A SMALL VEHICLE FRAME AND AN AUTOMATIC CLUTCH THAT PROVIDES LESS CONTROL THAN A MANUAL CLUTCH. THE MOTORCYCLE WOULD NOT PASS A STATE SAFETY INSPECTION DUE TO AN INSUFFICIENT FRONT BRAKE.

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.
