Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Battery cover does not stay closed during the operation of the motorcycle. The cover will fall open while riding causing it to hit the riders leg. Although the cover it's self does not weigh enough to cause injury, it is a signifcant distraction which could result in the loss of control. Both bikes have been to the dealer several times for repairs, unfortinatly the repair parts are on back order. Continued difficulty in getting the cover to stay closed on the 08 bike caused the dealer to remove the cover as a temporary fix until the repair parts can be had. This modification has resulted in the electrical components being exposed. The 09 bike is now getting to the point where the cover won't stay closed for more than 15 minutes at a time.
