Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON MY CAN-AM SPYDER, I NOTICED THAT THE BIKE HAD DRIFTED TOWARDS THE RIGHT OF THE ROAD. NORMAL DRIFT, NO PULLING. TRIED TO CORRECT IT BUT THE HANDLEBARS WOULD NOT MOVE, THEY FELT AS IF THEY WERE LOCKED IN POSITION. AFTER 3 TRIES TO CORRECT BEFORE LEAVING THE ROAD, IT FELT AS IF IT BROKE LOOSE MAKING ME ABRUPTLY LOSE LANE POSITION ENDING UP IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. NO INJURIES OR ACCIDENT OCCURRED. ALSO AFTER RETURNING HOME, AT A STOPPED POSITION AND THE BIKE RUNNING, THE STEERING WOULD NOT TURN LEFT OR RIGHT ON GRASSY SURFACE. THIS SEEMED TO FREE UP AFTER THE BIKE WAS IN A ROLLING MOTION. *TR
