SEAT BECOMES UNLATCHED DURING NORMAL OPERATION. SEAT LATCH BECOMES UNLATCHED WHILE RIDING EVEN AFTER SECURING THE SEAT AND VERIFYING IT IS LOCKED IN PLACE. I REPEATEDLY FIND THE SEAT UNLATCHED AND NOW CHECK BEFORE EVERY RIDE. UNLATCHED SEAT COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL.

2017-11-16, Service Brakes
WHILE ATTEMPTING TO USE THE REAR BRAKES ONLY WHILE NEGOTIATING A TURN, THE BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS+TRACTION CONTROL+LINKED BRAKES) APPLIED FAR TOO MUCH BRAKE POWER TO THE FRONT WHEEL VIA THE LINKED BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO COLLIDE WITH ANOTHER CAR AND A BUS. THE LINKED BRAKING SYSTEM APPLIES FAR TOO MUCH PRESSURE TO THE FRONT BRAKES, AND THE ABS SYSTEM APPLIES ITSELF IN A MANNER THAT INTERFERES WITH SMOOTH OPERATION IN THE CORNER. WERE IT NOT FOR EXTENSIVE FORMAL TRAINING AND DECADES OF EXPERIENCE AS A RIDER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CONTROL THE MOTORCYCLE, LIKELY RESULTING IN A COLLISION. THIS SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REWORKED IMMEDIATELY, OR A FIX PROVIDED TO TURN THE SYSTEM OFF.
