The chart below details the frequency of problems cited by consumers who bought a motorcycle new from 2009 to 2012 and reported needing a repair.

None of these motorcycles were covered by an extended warranty or service contract purchased at an additional cost at the time of service.

Which of the following parts on this motorcycle have been repaired? Percent

Accessories (e.g., lights, meters, switches, radio) 21%
Brakes 20%
Electrical system (e.g., starting, charging, ignition) 16%
Fuel system (including fuel tank) 15%
Clutch 7%
Body panels/fairings/luggage 7%
　
etc.

Seems the problems mostly affect BMW & Harley......
