Consumer Description
- Radiator has started to leak from the tops of both corners near the mounting. There is also a noticeable bend in the radiator causing the middle to sag. Inspection allowed on request. - My safety is put at risk because the coolant can leak onto the rear brake reducing stopping distance. It also can leak onto the rear tire reducing grip endangering my life and others on the road. It will also leak onto the ground possibly causing me to lose traction with my feet as well as others to lose their traction and risk dropping their bikes on themselves. - This has been documented by many other riders. - It has been inspected by a mechanic and I have been quoted on a 700$ replacement radiator. They have let me know that the problem could keep coming up due to "poor design". - There were no warning lights indicating any issue.
