Engine
Reports naming the engine itself — including stalling, misfires, oil consumption, cooling and internal engine components.
From owner reports, verbatim
On random occasions, the vehicle either refuses to start or the engine shuts off while driving. The dealer service suspected it was a faulty rollover sensor. After replacing it, the problem persists. This is a severe safety concern as while driving the motorcycle, to loose engine power while corning could cause serious injury. There are no warning lamps or indications the failure is or will occur. The dealer replicated the problem at the time they picked it up for the secondary service. The problem seems to only occur when the ambient temperature is above 60 f.
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
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.
