Rear brake indicator component is poorly designed and breaks off. I was riding when a friend informed me that he hardly ever saw me use my brakes. Upon inspection a component had failed. Bike was take to dealership for repair, bike was under warranty. Deal insist issue is due to misuse. "Repaired" at customer expense. Upon receipt of vehicle attempt to asses that the repair holds. Upon depressing the rear pedal, the component pops off. Dealer insists their is nothing to repair. Rear brake indicator does not function, unable to register bike. No repair available.
