Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Motorcycle keeps burning up batteries once each six months and the low beam headlight bulb burns out every 3,000 miles. this has been an ongoing problem since i bought the bike in february of 2005. even main headlight fuse has burned leaving me stranded at night. the bulb burns in daytime and i have no headlight and i do not know it. i had to use a tow truck due to battery being cooked it left me stranded in reno, nevada. dealer did not replace the battery on warranty and charged me $150 for the battery. these problems make this motorcycle very dangerous to ride. battery failed twice, headlight bulbs failed seven times and i only had the bike for nine months. i bought it new. i have no electrical accessories on the bike. it is stock from the factory. *jb
