AFTER COMPLETING A TURN ONTO CITY STREET IT JUST QUIT AS IF YOU HIT THE KILL SWITCH. I WAS 3 MILES FROM HOME AND IT DID THIS AGAIN TWICE BEFORE I REACHED HOME. IT FAILED TO START AGAIN AT THE GATED ENTRANCE. AT THIS POINT WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART IT HAD LOST ALL COMPRESSION. CLEAR TO ME THAT THE RECALL ON THAT ISSUE WAS THE PROBLEM. I PUSHED IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME.

I PURCHASED A NEW C650GT ON 2/7/13. I ALSO GOT THE REAR TRUNK WITH THE BIKE. AFTER A MONTH OF RIDING, THE LUGGAGE RACK (WHICH THE TRUNK FASTENS ON TO) STARTED TO SHAKE WHILE RIDING. I NOTICED THERE ARE 3 MAIN BOLTS THAT HOLD THE LUGGAGE RACK ON TO THE BIKE, 1 ON THE LEFT & 1 ON THE RIGHT, THAT FASTEN ONTO THE PASSENGER GRAB BAR & 1 THAT FASTENS OVER THE REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE BOLT ON THE RIGHT SIDE WAS THE FIRST TO COME LOOSE & NOW THE CENTER BOLT HAS COME LOSE. I ATTEMPT TO TIGHT THESE BOLTS (WITH THE PROPER TORX DRIVER) WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. I AM AFRAID TO USE THE TRUNK BECAUSE I THINK IT WILL VIBRATE OFF CAUSING A HAZARD TO SOMEONE DRIVING BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND LOOSING MY BELONGINGS. THERE IS A RECALL, FOR THIS PROBLEM, IN CANADA. *TR
