What owners report
WHILE COMING TO A STOP LIGHT AND BRAKING BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES HIT A BUMP ON THE ROAD. I HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR TIRE THEREFORE I PULLED OVER TO A GAS STATION TO INSPECT AND SAW THE CALIPER MOUNT BRACE SEVERED.
I HAVE HAD ISSUE WITH A LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE (LIFEPO4) BATTERY FROM BALLISTIC PERFORMANCE COMPONENTS (MODEL - 16 CELL HD BALLISTIC BATTERY) IN A MOTORCYCLE. THE DESIGN OF THE BATTERY CAN ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THROUGH THE TOP OF THE BATTERY THUS RESULTING IN THE BATTERY SHORTING OUT. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS OCCURRENCE SIMPLY BY RIDING THE BIKE IN THE RAIN. WITH THE BATTERY LOCATION DIRECTLY BELOW THE BACK OF THE FUEL TANK AND UNDER THE RIDER'S CROTCH, THE INHERENT SAFETY OF A BALLISTIC PERFORMANCE COMPONENTS BATTERY IS QUESTIONABLE. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE SHORTED BATTERY DID NOT RESULT IN A THERMAL RUNAWAY AND EXPLODE. I CAN PROVIDE MORE DETAILS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE
