| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My problem is this indian motorcycle ride is unstable. i have not been able to locate exactly what the problem is. i have been reading on the www that this is very common place with a majority of indian motorcycles. i noticed that other riders report that their motorcycles wobble or shimmy too. this unstability must be investigated. i believe from reading many reports from others motorcycle owners the issue lays in the frame assembly, wheels and tires. i read even one death has been reported. the indian motorcycle company has failed to correct this problem and are very aware on it. the company has made design changes on their 2002 model to avoid future issues, but that does nothing for those with the current problem.*ak (dot number: at3fc4200 tiresize: 4.10h19) |
