What owners report

Verbatim reports filed with NHTSA, lightly edited for readability and with personal information removed.

“There was a recall, starting march 2014 for rocker arm retaining bolt. My bolt came out when I was driving it, allowing shaft to come part way out along with some oil. Bolt is gone, but it looks like threads are ruined. I am glad engine did not lock up as it is a motorcycle.”
