STEERING

the motorcycle does not naturally steer straight. it requires significant right handlebar pressure to keep it steering straight which is a significant safety and a health hazard. without this additional right handlebar pressure, the motorcycle quickly steers to the left.

Reported in: SAN FRANCISCO CA || Crash: N || VIN #: WB1061209EZ

ENGINE

while driving on the highway in traffic at approximately 70mph, the engine suddenly shut off with no warning. we were forced to go off the road on left shoulder to avoid being struck from behind. engine would not restart, and we coasted across to the right shoulder when it was safe to do so. this could have been much worse. all electrical functions were still working, just not the engine.
