on my new 2010: Three times now while engine is running, and I am in reverse with the steering wheel turned to the left all the way, the front wheel has locked up. Once while pulling in my driveway, and I did a turn to the left (feet up rolling slowly with the engine running and in first gear) the front wheel locked up. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? I can't get it to do this all of the time. I am quickly getting afraid of slow turns. While in reverse, it is a problem when it happens, but going forward, it forced me to lay it over! I have ridden bikes since 1972, and the only time I ever dropped a bike was on gravel when my foot slipped, and once due to personal stupidity.
Update!!!!!! I am such a dumba__ !!!! I always on my last two bikes, hang my helmit on the mirror. Try putting a full faced helmit on your mirror, and then turn the steering all the way. It hits the brake handle!!!!! What a dummy....... I guess I have dropped two bikes now due to personal stupidity!!!!
