What owners report
THE REAR BRAKE ON THE MULTISTRADA HAS A KNOWN ISSUE OF THE BRAKE FLUID BOILING AND CAUSING THE REAR BRAKE PERFORMANCE TO BE NON-EXISTANT. RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE INCLUDED NOT USING THE REAR BRAKE, WHICH IS NOT AN OPTION. I LANE SPLIT, AND THE REAR BRAKE IS PERFECT FOR CONTROLLING SPEED IN SMALL MARGINS. I'VE RUN THROUGH MULTIPLE BRAKE FLUID SERVICES FOR THE REAR AND LOSE PERFORMANCE WITHIN AN HOUR OF RIDE TIME.
MOTORCYCLE IS DESIGNED WITH KEYLESS FOB. FOB WILL NOT ALWAYS ACTIVATE THE DASHBOARD AS DESIGNED. BATTERY IN THE FOB AND THE MOTORCYCLE ARE LESS THAN 1 YEAR OLD. THE FOB'S BATTERY TESTS GOOD USING A BATTERY TESTER. THE BIKE BASICALLY LEAVES YOU STRANDED WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. SOMETIMES YOU CAN GET IT TO ACTIVATE BY HOLDING IT IN A CERTAIN SPOT, BUT NOT 100% OF THE TIME. VERY UNRELIABLE. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO WALK UP THE BIKE WITH FOB IN YOUR POCKET, AND IT SHOULD DETECT ITS PRESENCE. IT COST ME A $50 TOW. WHEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE BIKE MAGICALLY STARTED.
REAR BRAKE DOES NOT WORK. THE PEDAL WHEN DEPRESSED GOES TO THE STOP BUT DOES NOT SLOW THE MOTORCYCLE. THE REAR BRAKE IS COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE.
