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.

AFTER 17,500 MILES,I HEARD SCRAPING NOISES FROM THE REAR WHEEL THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY DISAPPEAR WHEN RIDING THE BIKE FROM A COLD START. NOTICED SLIGHT WIGGLE WHEN LEANING INTO TURNS AT 60 MPH. I PLACED THE BIKE ON A LIFT AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE REAR TIRE SIDE TO SIDE WITH MY HANDS. I EVENTUALLY TOOK THE BIKE TO MY DEALER TO HAVE THE REAR RIM CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT NOT ONLY DID THE REAR BEARING FAIL ON DRIVE SIDE, BUT IT GALLED OUT THE ALUMINUM FACE INSIDE THE RIM RENDERING IT USELESS. AS A RESULT, NO BEARINGS COULD BE INSTALLED UNLESS A NEW RIM WAS PURCHASED. A NEW RIM WAS PURCHASED ON 11/14/04. THE ORIGINAL RIM WAS DISPOSED OF BY THE DEALER AT MY REQUEST. *AK
