Electrical system, Service brakes, Oct 30, 2025, crash
On 29 October 2025 at approximately 0930, I was riding my motorcycle and getting ready to make left hand turn, was going approximately 5 to 10 MPH and a car made a quick turn into turn lane. I pressed rear brake pedal and rear tire lockes up and caused my rear of,bike to slide out and went down. Damage was limited, broke clutch lever, scratxhed fairing on left side as well as left foot peg mount. Had rear frame slider pegs and saved bike from damage. An ABS Code generated as well as a BCM code and tilt code. I have been having issues with the bike throwing codes daily, from a TSB for holding brake while starting, next speedometer codea of not speaking to bike. Bike has been in shop twice, once for TSB over filled 12 ounces of oil, smoke and oil ever where, then electrical issue of discharged battery and codes daily.
