E-brake does not prevent motorcycle from rolling. Never worked from date of purchase. Had it adjusted at 4000k service but it did not correct the issue. The motorcycle still rolls with the e-brake engaged.

Show complaint excerpts
I have a 2023 Honda Goldwing/DCT which is a 7 speed motorcycle. On the highway traveling around 70 miles per hour in heavy traffic the bike just dies and it will just coast to a stop. You can not restart the bike because it is locked in 7th gear.
