The contact stated that while operating the motorcycle, the rear wheel braking system malfunctioned and was inoperable causing the rider to fall over while attempting to stop. During the failure there was no injury sustained. The motorcycle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the rear brake line had melted, and the rear brake caliber had overheated.

The motorcycle was taken back to the dealer who diagnosed that the rear brake caliper, rear brake disc, and rear brake lever needed to be replaced. The motorcycle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 629.
