Consumer Description

2016 INDIAN SCOUT, 3036 MILES EXPERIENCING TROUBLE STARTING AND RUNNING TERRIBLE. AFTER HAVING TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP WHEN A CAR IN FRONT OF ANOTHER VEHICLE DECIDED TO TURN SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING. THE ABS LIGHT STAYS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. WHEN STOPPING THE MOTORCYCLE SLID AND THE BACK TIRE SQUEALED AND BIKE DIED IN MIDDLE OF STREET SO IT APPEARS THE ABS BRAKES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. LUCKILY, I'D LEFT PLENTY OF ROOM BETWEEN ME AND OTHER VEHICLE AND AVOIDED A COLLISION. AFTER SUDDENLY STOPPING IT DIED AND SPUTTERED AND IT DIDN'T WANT TO START. IT TOOK ABOUT 5 TRIES WITH TRAFFIC BACKING UP BEHIND ME TO GET IT GOING AGAIN. I HAD TROUBLE WITH IT NOT WANTING TO START PERIODICALLY LAST YEAR BUT ITS WORSE AND MORE CONSISTENT. THIS ALL OCCURRED ON A TWO LANE, VERY CURVY, AND HILLY ROAD. A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN ON THIS ROAD.
