I WAS TRAVELING 55 MPH IN 5TH GEAR WHEN MY MOTORCYCLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING, AND THE CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY WENT INTO LIMP-MODE AND WOULD NOT TRAVEL ANY FASTER THAN 25 MPH. I WAS NEAR A SERVICE STATION, SO I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO RETURN HOME TRAVELING 25 MPH, AS FRUSTRATED CARS FOLLOWED CLOSE BEHIND ME. MY HARLEY DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY FAULTY WIRING THAT TRIGGERED THE LIMP-MODE SENSOR.

I HAD BEEN RIDING FOR UNDER FIVE MINUTES, CITY TRAFFIC, SPEED LIMIT 25MPH. AS I SLOWED FOR A TURNING CAR MY REAR BRAKE FAILED BY THE PEDAL LOCKING. I CONTROLLED THE STOP AND RETURNED HOME. I'VE NOW BEEN TOLD THE ABS CONTROL MODULE HAS FAILED AND THE REPAIR COST ARE TO BE AROUND 900.00. I FIND IT INCREDIBLY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A MODULE FAILURE DEFAULTS TO A TOTAL LACK OF BRAKES! ONE MIGHT BE INCLINED TO THINK YOUD LOSE ABS FUNCTION, NOT TOTAL BRAKING!

Is 7 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2009 and 2023, roughly 1 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
