Complaint evidence
Examples provide context, not a representative sample or a verified diagnosis.
I was leaving a stop light in road mode. I took off smoothly with no rapid acceleration. I was in second gear and was going roughly 20 mph, when suddenly the bike stalled and the rpms immediately dropped. I was jerked forward but stood on the bike. However, it caused me to drop it on my right side, causing the right side fairings, exhaust pipe, even frame and bar ends to be scratched. I did get injured with a fractured hand. Luckily there was no traffic around and no others were in danger. There was no warning lamps on the dash at the time, …

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
