THE FRONT ANTI-THEFT FORK LOCK ON THE HI-BIRD QH125-10 MOTORCYCLE HAS TWO SCREWS  WHICH WERE INSTALLED IN THE FACTORY  LOOSENED  OVER A  TIME  PERIOD BECAUSE OF MOTOR VIBRATIONS AND NORMAL USE. WHEN THEY LOOSENED UP ABOUT 1/4 INCH THEY PREVENTED THE  DRIVER FROM STEERING THE MOTORCYCLE IN  THE DESIRED DIRECTION. THIS IMMEDIATELY LED TO A CRASH IF WHICH  OCCURRED WHILE MOVING.  THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON A BUSY HIGHWAY IN KANSAS AT  US HIGHWAY 54 AT NIGHT. I PULLED OUT OF A GAS STATION ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON TO THE EAST BOUND LANE. AFTER TURNING THE STEERING  WAS JAMMED AND I COULD NOT STOP THE TURN. I ENDED UP GOING INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE AND FALLING OFF THE MOTORCYCLE AT LOW SPEED BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE MOTORCYCLE  DOWN WITH THE BRAKES. IF ANY TRAFFIC HAD BEEN COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THEY WOULD NOT EXPECTED SUCH A THING TO HAPPEN AND WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID CRASHING INTO ME. NO TRAFFIC WAS COMING.  I   SUSTAINED A SCRAPED KNEE,  AND S THERE WAS SLIGHT DAMAGE TO THE MOTORCYCLE .  IN THE MORNING AT DAYLIGHT I WAS ABLE TO FIND THE SCREW THAT LOOSED  AND CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. I TOOK PHOTOS OF PARTS IN QUESTION AND THE ACCIDENT SCENE THE NEXT DAY.  *AK    I FEEL IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE ABOUT THESE SCREWS LOOSENING UP AND CAUSING CRASHES SOMEONE WILL DIE SOON. I WAS LUCKY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO PRE","canonical_url":"https://api.morvs.ai/vehicle-complaint/627749"}]}
