Owner report 731240 · 2000-09-13 (September 13, 2000)
NO OIL WAS BEING SENT TO THE ENGINE CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SEIZE. COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY IF RIDING WHEN INCIDENT OCCURED. MANUFACTURER SAYS THEY WILL NOT REPLACE MOTOR OR MOTORCYCLE. FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE RIDING THIS BIKE EVEN AFTER THE MOTOR IS REBUILT. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A BRAND NEW MOTORCYCLE WOULD HAVE THIS KIND OF FAILURE AND THE MANUFACTURER NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND REPLACE IT.
