Filed Nov 1, 2021AZ

Bike does not start properly. Often it takes several tries, but if it does start and I attempt to drive away in the time normal frame any other bike I have owned, it will stall potentially, not allow me to quickly restart and I could have traffic coming from behind me putting me at risk. It has also failed to start a few times requiring a tow, not safety related I know, but for a brand new bike in 2021, something is not right. Finally this is a 2021 890 Adventure, not the 790 that was displayed when I entered the VIN

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.
