Latest complaints
- Electrical system · Steering
While riding, the bike abruptly started decelerating , then it cut off. Then the DPS/VSS errors and limp mode showed.
- Steering
Wanted one of these for a long time, found this one with 1520 miles on it. Just rode it home, 160 miles, and I was about killed. While driving on the interstate, the steering locked up and would not turn unless I exerted a lot of pressure and then it would "break loose" and dart another direction. Just spent all my savings on this because I thought it was like brand new!
