Read the full complaint
Description of the defect The motor mount welds broke off the motorcycle's frame. The welds securing the engine to the frame failed completely - the engine mounts separated from the frame tubing during normal street riding, approximately 1-2 months after I purchased the bike new. An engine separating from its frame mounts while a motorcycle is in motion can cause sudden loss of control, the engine dropping into the roadway, and a crash. I have close-up video of the failed welds dated April 1, 2026. ## History The bike arrived with shipping damage (broken clutch lever, cracked fenders, no battery included). After about 2 months waiting for warranty parts, I rode it roughly 1-2 months before discovering the motor mount weld failure. The manufacturer refused to replace it ("all sales final") and instead offered to reimburse me if I paid a third party to re-weld the frame - I declined. The motorcycle was later destroyed in a residential fire on July 28, 2026, so it is no longer available for inspection, but the defect video survives. ## Crash / fire / injury No crash, no injury - the failure was discovered before it caused a crash.
