New motorcycles are covered under Massachusetts Lemon Law. In order to be considered a lemon, a motorcycle must meet the following requirements:
Does not conform to the manufacturer’s express warranty
Has substantial defects affecting the use, safety or value of the vehicle
Has manufacturer’s defects that occurred during the first year from the original owner’s delivery date or the first 15,000 miles on the odometer (whichever period ends first)
Has been taken in three times for the same problem or if it has been out of service for 15 business days due to a series of unrelated problems
After the dealer has tried to repair the vehicle three times, the manufacturer has been notified and given an opportunity to repair the vehicle
Is driven for personal use
If you believe your motorcycle is a lemon, you should notify the manufacturer immediately by a demand letter [link to demand letter section] and seek help from a qualified attorney.
