Consumer Description
The motorcycle is just over 1 year old. Has less than 1300 miles on it. The bike does not start, the manufacture is not helping the dealership work on the problem. The motorcycle has been with the dealership for more than 3 months at this point. As an adventure motorcycle, a no start problem or if the bike shuts down while riding this could be a dangerous potentially deadly situation. There is also a known issue with the cam shafts failing at low mileage also. There is an active forum and Facebook pages with thousands of members world wide that are experiencing major defects on this model with no response from the manufacture. It is one of the most expensive motorcycles in this style and it is also one of the most unreliable. Please reach out if you have any further questions or need more details to push forward. I would like the manufacture to be held accountable for their shortcomings and potentially life threatening decisions made at the expense of their customers.
