Consumer Description

AFTER DELIVERY, I DISCOVERED WHILE PARKED THERE WAS A COOLING SYSTEM LEAK NEAR THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE (~90 MILES); IF IT WERE NOT ADDRESSED, SUCH A LEAK HAS POTENTIAL TO DEPOSIT COOLANT ON THE REAR TIRE AND COULD CONTRIBUTE TO A CRASH AND ENSUING INJURY. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE LEAK, IT HAS SUBSEQUENTLY RETURNED AND BECOME MORE SERIOUS (DISCOVERED AT 975 MILES). THE SELLING DEALER ADVISED ME NOT TO OPERATE THE MOTORCYCLE AND RETRIEVED IT BY TRAILER FROM MY HOME. UNFORTUNATELY, THE TECHNICIAN SERVICING MY BIKE HAD A CRASH ON A TEST RIDE AFTER SERVICE; IT'S APPARENT THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS LEADING TO THE CRASH RESULTED FROM THE OTHER DRIVER'S ACTIONS, BUT AT THIS POINT IT'S UNKNOWN IF THE COOLANT LEAK WAS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IN THE TECHNICIAN'S INABILITY TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT. *TR
