- Service brakes
WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED THE BIKE SEEMED TO BE DRAGGING WITH VERY LITTLE FREE MOMENTUM. UPON INSPECTION THE REAR TIRE WAS FLAT. AFTER DISMOUNTING THE CAUSE OF THE FLAT WAS DISCOVERED TO BE THAT THE TIRE VALVE STEM WAS SHEARED COMPLETELY OFF BY THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER, WHICH HAD DETACHED WHILE THE BIKE WAS IN MOTION AND IMPACTED THE VALVE STEM. IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT THIS OCCURRED AT VERY LOW SPEED AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE REAR CALIPER HAS NEVER BEEN SERVICED SO THE BOLTS WERE INSUFFICIENTLY TORQUED PRIOR TO CUSTOMER SALE, EITHER AT THE FACTORY OR THE DEALER. PHOTOS ARE ATTACHED.

THE MOTORCYCLE IS THE HYPERSTRADA MODEL WITH A FACTORY INSTALLED CENTER STAND. THE LEFT SIDE CENTER STAND ATTACHMENT BOLT LOOSENED AND FELL OUT WHILE RIDING. THE BOLT RETENTION WAS NOT SUFFICIENT AND IT WORKED IT'S WAY LOOSE AFTER 1.5 YEARS. THE ENTIRE CENTER STAND DROPPED TO WITHIN 3-5 MM OF THE DRIVE CHAIN. IF IT WOULD HAVE CONTACTED IT WHILE RIDING AT SPEED THE REAR WHEEL COULD HAVE LOCKED UP. A TEMPORARY BOLT WAS INSTALLED BY THE OWNER TO PREVENT ANY SAFETY ISSUES.

I STOPPED, AND SWITCHED IGNITION OFF, THEN STARTED UP AGAIN. IT STARTED NORMALLY. AFTER A FEW (50?) YARDS THE DCT AGAIN FLASHED MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THE ABS AND DCT BOTH TURNED THEMSELVES OFF. RESTARTING AGAIN, THE BIKE SEEMED NORMAL FOR A HALF MILE OR SO, THEN THE BIKE WENT INTO A SLOW DRIVING MODE AND WOULD NOT GET ANY SPEED. CALLING THE SHOP -THE TECH MANAGER ADVISED ME THEY HAD NO WAY TO PICK UP THE BIKE, AND I SHOULD RIDE IT IN (ABOUT 200 MILES). I WAS TAKING OFF FROM A STOP IN SLOW-MODE WHEN THE DCT…
