CENTER FORK BOLT, WHICH BOLTS THE FORK OF THE MOTORCYCLE TO THE FRAME, BECAME LOOSE. WAS CAUTIOUS OF THIS HAPPENING AS IT HAPPENED TO A FRIEND WHO BOUGHT THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR OF MOTORCYCLE, THOUGH WE ASSUMED ONE TIME. ONCE THE ODOMETER HIT 2400 MILES THE BOLT BEGAN TO SPIN OFF. WAS ABLE TO HAVE RE-TORQUED AT DEALER. OF GRAVE CONCERN, AS MY OWN FRIEND WAS LUCKY, HIS BOLT WENT MISSING UNNOTICED ON A HIGHWAY. *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.
