What owners report
Verbatim reports filed with NHTSA, lightly edited for readability and with personal information removed.
“Seat becomes unlatched during normal operation. Seat latch becomes unlatched while riding even after securing the seat and verifying it is locked in place. I repeatedly find the seat unlatched and now check before every ride. Unlatched seat could lead to loss of control.”
“While attempting to use the rear brakes only while negotiating a turn, the braking system (abs+traction control+linked brakes) applied far too much brake power to the front wheel via the linked braking system. This nearly caused me to collide with another car and a bus. The linked braking system…”
“Seat becomes unlatched while riding. This could cause loss of control of the motorcycle. Design of the seat lock and latching mechanism is defective.”
“This motorcycle seat latches to the motorcycle frame on the rear of the seat, and keeps coming unlatched during normal riding. This could cause the rider seating to become unstable and allow turning forces to dismount the rider and/or cause seating instability.”
