Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data
Data refreshed
Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

I purchased this vehicle 2024 and had the check engine light come on the day after I purchased it. The vehicle shuts off while driving. It has been to the dealer several times for programing, and a few days later light back on again. I recently brought it in and has been there for three weeks. They called and basically check a lot of thigs but can't say it is repaired. To me this is unbelievable. When I bought it in this time it stalled twice the same day. I was turning into a street and shut it shut off while downshifting for the turn. As I was rolling to a stop when an opposing vehicle pulled out across my path, and I almost hit his rear quarter panel. It happened so fast I hadn't noticed the bike stalled. If you wait awhile, it will restart again which is not great in an intersection. I have looked on social media which shows people having the same issue around the world. I was surprised to see no complaints listed here. I am affraid to drive it now not knowing it isn't fixed.

On multiple occasions while slowing down, or coming off the line, with the clutch fully disengaged, the motorcycle has stalled. The RPMs drop to zero and it cuts out. Usually you can hear the engine sputter a bit before it cuts. I've tried adjusting the clutch free play and it's made no difference.
