DT: MOTORCYCLE. CONSUMER SAYS THAT REAREND ON MOTORCYCLE IS LEAKING GREASE, AND THE GREASE IS GETING SLUNG ONTO THE REAR TIRE. THIS IS CAUSING TRACTION/LOSS OF REAR TIRE. CONSUMER SAYS IF TURNING LEFT THE GREASE IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF TIRE, SO THIS CAUSES MAJOR TRACTION LOSS. THE MOTORCYCLE HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER FOR REPAIR OF THIS PROBLEM FOUR TIMES. IT HAS BEEN FIXED UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL NOW. DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR VEHICLE WITHOUT CONSUMER PAYING. CONSUMER IS HAVING PROBLEM FIXED.*AK

THE THROTTLE GRIP CABLE STAY FAILED DROPPING A SMALL PIECE INTO THE CABLE PATH AND JAMMED THE THROTTLE OPEN AT 65 MPH. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP NOR DID THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WERE ANY OTHER FAILURES OF THIS TYPE. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE AND ALSO THE DANGER TO OTHERS IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN TO SOMOEONE ELSE I BELIEVE THAT THIS INCIDENT SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED. ALSO THE MANUFACTURERS ATTITUDE TOWARD THE FAILURE WARRANTS FURTHER INVESTIGATION. IF WANTED I CAN PROVIDE PICTURES OF THE FAILED PART.*AK

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
