Consumer Description

DRIVING SOUTH ON US45, NORTH OF OSHKOSH, WI. MOTORCYCLE UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING LOST ALL ENGINE POWER. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD WHILE AVOIDING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. WAITED WITH VEHICLE AT ROADSIDE FOR 1.5 HOURS UNTIL A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. MY PERSONAL SAFETY WAS IN JEOPARDY AS I MANEUVERED THROUGH HIGHWAY TRAFFIC TO THE ROADSIDE; I WAS ALSO EXPOSED TO DANGEROUS HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AS I AWAITED A TOW TRUCK FOR MY DISABLED MOTORCYCLE. AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER IDENTIFIED THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT AS A FAILED STATOR. SUBSEQUENT ONLINE RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT STATOR FAILURE IS A CHRONIC AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL OF VEHICLE. *TR
