  1. Filed Sep 3, 2022Failure Mar 5, 2022Salem, OREngine

    On random occasions, the vehicle either refuses to start or the engine shuts off while driving. The dealer service suspected it was a faulty rollover sensor. After replacing it, the problem persists. This is a severe safety concern as while driving the motorcycle, to loose engine power while corning could cause serious injury. There are no warning lamps or indications the failure is or will occur. The dealer replicated the problem at the time they picked it up for the secondary service. The problem seems to only occur when the ambient temperature is above 60 f.
