Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Numerous times the engine has overheated at 15 mph. it is sometimes very dangerous when you can't get out of heavy traffic to prevent overheating. if you can't get out of heavy traffic the temperature continues to climb until it dumps coolant on the ground, which of course is very dangerous on a motorcycle. i have had this problem since i purchased the unit in july of 2001. i have had it repeat the overheating several times a day up to several weeks in a row. it is time they do something to make the motorcycle safer to ride. any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated by myself and many other owners who are faced with this same problem. thank you. dt
