Owner report 10652903 · 2014-11-05 (November 5, 2014)

I WAS RIDING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60-65 MPH AND PULLED IN THE CLUTCH, TO DOWNSHIFT FROM 6TH TO 5TH GEAR. IN MID-SHIFT LIKE THIS, I THEN DECIDED THAT MAYBE TRAFFIC WASN'T SLOWING THAT MUCH, AFTER ALL, AND WAS JUST ABOUT TO RELEASE THE CLUTCH AND CONTINUE TO RIDE IN 6TH GEAR. IN THAT SECOND OR TWO, THE ENGINE STALLED, PRESUMABLY BECAUSE MY LONGER THAN USUAL PAUSE IN THE SHIFT PROCESS HAD ALLOWED THE ENGINE RPMS TO DROP DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY IDLE SPEED (ABOUT 1,000RPM). WITH THE CLUTCH STILL PULLED IN, I HIT THE STARTER BUTTON; THE EN…

Owner report 10536288 · 2013-08-20 (August 20, 2013)

ANYTIME THE MOTORCYCLE GETS WET THE ELECTRICAL ACTS STRANGE. SOMETIMES THE CRUISE DOESN'T WORK. OFTEN TIMES WHEN I PULL THE CLUTCH HANDLE MY HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS WILL BLINK. IF I GET RAINED ON FOR A PERIOD OF TIME MY TURN SIGNALS WILL CEASE FUNCTIONING UNTIL THE BIKE HAS SPENT SEVERAL HOURS DRYING OUT. I BELIEVE THE TURN SIGNALS NOT FUNCTIONING AS WELL THE HAZARDS BLINKING WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PULLED IN POSE AN IMMINENT THREAT TO MYSELF OR TO OTHERS AROUND ME SINCE MY INTENTIONS ARE EITHER BEING MISREPRESENTED BY THE HAZARDS OR I'M UNABLE T…
