What 2000 Buell M2 Cyclone owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Shock absorbers leak oil which renders rear suspension inoperable, and makes motorcycle dangerous to operate. Please add VIN.
I contacted dealer for information on the recall and recieved no info relating to being able to safely continue to operate (it been over a month since the recall) the motorcycle or stop riding it, the dealer response was that they had the same info I was sent ref. The recall and they had no idea of the safety factor. They made no attempt at that time to contact the manufacturer for further info. I tried 4 times to contact the manufacturer via phone without result; I even went so far as to let them pick a time to call me back (I left a message via voice mail for them on their cust.service line) so I wouldn't have to wait at home which I did for 3 hours one day for a call back. All I wish is info on whether or not it's safe to ride and when the product will be repaired-it's already been 1 1/2 months-I think it reasonable to recieve this info-could you please help answer these questions? Buell has no e-mail-only a toll line.
