Owner report 11659608 · 2025-05-07 (May 7, 2025)

May 7, 2025 - Bike mileage 7,140, over year old, and out of warranty. The brake system has not been touched prior to this incident. I slowed down using both front and rear brakes as usual for traffic and as I attempted to resume 40 mph the motor started struggling and bike slowed radically. At a nearby turn off to gravel parking lot, I turned into and nearly dropping the bike, and noticed the front brake lever had no take up. Got the bike off the pavement and discovered as I attempted to push the bike further into the parking lot, the fr…

The engine shut off while bike was in motion, restarted but throttle would not respond. Restart, shut off, ignition switch off, and restart required before throttle will respond. Since it did this when hitting bumps, suspect was the side stand. New spring was installed and it stopped the engine shut off for a short period. Then any quick acceleration or bumps started shutting off the engine requiring the restart sequence.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.

No selected model years have a complete observation window. Choose an eligible year or a shorter window.

Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
