Bought the bike brand new on 8/27/24. Took the motorcycle out for the 1st time on 9/7/24. Upon riding 70 miles, the motor began smoking badly with oil leaking everywhere. The oil saturated the engine, exhaust, foot control, swingarm, and rear tire causing a significant fire and safety hazard.

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.
