| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Design of cooling system is that fans pull air through radiators. fans designed to turn of at speeds over 15 mph. when you encounter stop and go traffic at speeds above 15 but less than 25, motorcycle will overheat. when i discussed this with the dealer & manufacturer i was told this isn't an issue just don't drive in those condidtions. i was also asked if it got hot enough to spit out antu-freeze. i stated no, i didn't want to damage the engine and becaue of their design if it did spill out anti-freeze it comes out in front of the rear tire which could cause an accident. not too safe. the fix is to reverse the dirrection of the fans and change the operation to where the fans come on and stay on at a certain tempature until the engine falls below that tempaturer. so far the manufacture refuses to acknowledge this is a safety issue. *ak |
