Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Went for a ride last january 1,2021 and when I was about to approach the traffic stop light I applied both front and rear brake I noticed that only the front brake is working.. So when I got into a vacant lot I tried to use the rear brake but it failed to stop the motorcycle and the brake pedal is hitting the top part of the exhaust system.. It has only 702 miles.. Im glad that I got home safe using trail braking(front brake only) I checked the brake fluid level it is full and no leaks at all.
