NHTSA Complaint #10307481 — 2009 BUELL 1125CR

FRONT BRAKE LEVER SWITCH WIRES COME LOOSE WITH THE OPTIONAL "HIGH BAR" HANDLEBARS INSTALLED. I GOT MY FROM THE DEALER WITH THE HIGH BARS AND DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL I GOT HOME THAT ONE OF THE CONNECTORS WAS MISSING ALTOGETHER. IT LOOKED LIKE IT HAD BEEN PULLED OFF RATHER THAN NOT INSTALLED. I BROUGHT THE BIKE BACK FOR SOME OTHER STUFF AND HAD THEM REPLACE THE CONNECTOR. I THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL A WHILE LATER, I NOTICED THAT THE CONNECTORS HAD BOTH COME LOOSE. I RE-ATTACHED THEM AND ROTATED THE FRONT END WHICH PULLED THE CONNECTORS LOOSE AGAIN.. AN CLOSER EXAMINATION REVEALED THAT WHILE THE WIRES HAD PLENTY OF SLACK, THEY WERE NOT ATTACHED TO THE REST OF THE WIRES IN ANY WAY WHICH MEANT THAT WHEN THE BARS WERE TURNED, THE WIRES HAD NOTHING TO FORCE THEM TO MOVE WITH THE BARS. A SIMPLE WIRE-TIE SOLVED THE PROBLEM.
