NEW MODEL CHINESE MOTORCYCLE HI-BIRD QH125-10 HAS A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, LEADING TO POSSIBLE FATAL CRASH. THE FRONT ANTI-THEFT FORK LOCK ON THE HI-BIRD QH125-10 MOTORCYCLE HAS TWO SCREWS WHICH WERE INSTALLED IN THE FACTORY LOOSENED OVER A TIME PERIOD BECAUSE OF MOTOR VIBRATIONS AND NORMAL USE. WHEN THEY LOOSENED UP ABOUT 1/4 INCH THEY PREVENTED THE DRIVER FROM STEERING THE MOTORCYCLE IN THE DESIRED DIRECTION. THIS IMMEDIATELY LED TO A CRASH IF WHICH OCCURRED WHILE MOVING. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON A BUSY HIGHWAY IN KANSAS AT US HIGHWAY 54 AT NIGHT. I PULLED OUT OF A GAS STATION ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON TO THE EAST BOUND LANE. AFTER TURNING THE STEERING WAS JAMMED AND I COULD NOT STOP THE TURN. I ENDED UP GOING INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE AND FALLING OFF THE MOTORCYCLE AT LOW SPEED BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE MOTORCYCLE DOWN WITH THE BRAKES. IF ANY TRAFFIC HAD BEEN COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THEY WOULD NOT EXPECTED SUCH A THING TO HAPPEN AND WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID CRASHING INTO ME. NO TRAFFIC WAS COMING. I SUSTAINED A SCRAPED KNEE, AND S THERE WAS SLIGHT DAMAGE TO THE MOTORCYCLE . IN THE MORNING AT DAYLIGHT I WAS ABLE TO FIND THE SCREW THAT LOOSED AND CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. I TOOK PHOTOS OF PARTS IN QUESTION AND THE ACCIDENT SCENE THE NEXT DAY. *AK I FEEL IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE ABOUT THESE SCREWS LOOSENING UP AND CAUSING CRASHES SOMEONE WILL DIE SOON. I WAS LUCKY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. THANK YOU. CHRISTOPHER RISHER 9012 MT. CARMEL EL PASO, TX 79907 915-328-9152 CHRISRISHERMN32@YAHOO.COM
