| Description of the problem | "takata recall" while leaving my home about . 5 miles away coming to stop in traffic my wife said she seen smoke and asked if the car in front of use was coming from its tail pipe. As i looked and seen no smoke from the car i looked down and seen apart of my bike in flames and smoke coming up she jumped off the bike while i shut it off put down the kick stand. I tried to blow out the flame out with no luck then grabbed a hoodie from the saddle bag and swiped out the fire. I then started the bike pulled into a car wash to see what happened and noticed i had a soft rear brake pedal. As i looked over the area the two plastic connections to the rear brake switch melted and brake fluid was leaking from that switch. |
