| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While riding the motorcycle at highway speeds, i noticed a thumping sound and vibration coming from the area of the rear wheel. initially it was intermittent and inspection of the tire and wheel did not reveal the cause. after approximately 70 miles the noise and vibration became noticeably worse and as i pulled to the side of the road the final drive failed and sprayed the final drive oil onto the rear tire and wheel. approximately 2 weeks prior to the failure the speedometer sensor, which is attached to the final drive unit, became defective and was replaced by the dealer. i understand that this is happening fairly often with this model of motorcycle, and it is very dangerous to have gear oil sprayed onto the tires.*ak |
