  • Body and fenders do not line up
  • Engine has a squeal and vibration that can be felt through the pedals
  • Control arm is bent impacting the alignment
  • Two front tires are feathering
  • Left wheel is bent
  • Bumper pad not mounted properly
  • Noise from front right wheel
  • Air filter box is cracked
Glad I took it in and I thank you all for your valued input!
