Motorcyclist and Mechanic Share Evidence of Critical Engine Failure, Highlighting Widespread Issues with MV Agusta’s Product Quality and Customer Service

A longtime MV Agusta owner is publicly raising concerns about severe engine failure and a lack of response from MV Agusta USA after his newly purchased 2018 MV Agusta F3 800 RC motorcycle experienced a “valve drop” malfunction, leading to extensive engine damage. Despite an initial promise of a goodwill repair, the company ceased communication, leaving the owner without support. Detailed documentation of the damage and images were shared in a blog post, revealing similar failures reported among other MV Agusta models. The owner is now urging the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to investigate this widespread and potentially hazardous issue.

ATLANTA, Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — A motorcyclist and long-time MV Agusta owner is coming forward to share his troubling experience with MV Agusta USA, highlighting what he describes as critical product failures and unresponsiveness from the company’s customer service team. After purchasing an MV Agusta F3 800 RC second-generation motorcycle in April 2024, he experienced a significant engine failure only one month later, sparking a months-long struggle to obtain support from MV Agusta USA, which eventually ceased communication. This incident raises concerns not only about product quality but also about safety, as similar mechanical failures have been reported among other MV Agusta owners.

“This is a serious design flaw that could put lives at risk. The lack of response from MV Agusta USA is unacceptable, and I would caution anyone considering buying from the brand until they demonstrate a commitment to supporting their customers and addressing these safety issues.”

The motorcyclist, who purchased the bike with under 7,000 miles, describes how the bike suffered a “valve drop” failure, a known issue with first-generation MV Agusta 800 CC engines that the company purportedly addressed in subsequent models. Despite this, the engine failure led to complete destruction of essential engine components, resulting in a total loss of the engine. The failure mode itself, related to valve spring malfunction, poses a serious safety risk, as it can cause the engine to stall during operation – a situation that could be fatal in uncontrolled environments. Fortunately, the failure occurred in a safe setting for this rider.

“When I first contacted MV Agusta USA about the engine failure, they initially acknowledged the issue and agreed to consider a goodwill repair, given the bike’s low mileage,” the rider explains. “However, after three months of delayed responses and countless back-and-forth emails, the company stopped responding altogether, leaving me with a bike in pieces and no available parts for repair.” said George B, the owner of the motorcycle.

The engine failure, which left the bike in need of extensive repairs, has proven to be a common issue among MV Agusta motorcycles, with several other owners reporting similar incidents of “valve drop” and engine failure across both first- and second-generation models. Many affected customers have voiced their concerns in online groups, underscoring what appears to be a widespread issue that the manufacturer has yet to adequately address.

The Atlanta mechanic that inspected and attempted repairs on the damaged engine has published a blog post, with the permission of the owner of the motorcycle, with detailed images of the engine damage, explaining the severity of the valve drop failure. The post also references other sources indicating that this issue is known to MV Agusta USA, yet it remains unaddressed for customers. By sharing his professional perspective, the Atlanta mechanic aims to inform other MV Agusta owners and call attention to the product’s potentially hazardous design flaw.

The rider emphasizes that this ongoing problem with MV Agusta’s product quality and customer service should be subject to scrutiny by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to consider a recall for the affected models. “This is a serious design flaw that could put lives at risk. The lack of response from MV Agusta USA is unacceptable, and I would caution anyone considering buying from the brand until they demonstrate a commitment to supporting their customers and addressing these safety issues” ,said George B

The lack of available parts and MV Agusta USA’s limited response has now left the rider’s bike inoperable for over seven months. As an owner of multiple MV Agusta motorcycles, he states, “I love the brand, but this experience has been nothing short of frustrating and disappointing. It’s not only about the money but about the complete disregard for customer safety and satisfaction.”

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NAVER, Brookfield and NVIDIA announced an expansion of Korea’s sovereign AI factory infrastructure. New investments will increase the initial NVIDIA DSX™ AI factory deployment from 55 megawatts to 200 megawatts.

Announced during Korea President Jae Myung Lee’s AI Summit visit to San Francisco, the planned 200-megawatt expansion will be built with the NVIDIA DSX platform at NAVER’s GAK Sejong hyperscale data center in Sejong, South Korea. The expanded infrastructure will provide Korea- and U.S.- based AI innovators with access to production-scale AI compute for building next-generation models, agents and AI-powered services.

Under the terms of the agreements, Brookfield will fund up to $9 billion as the exclusive capital partner, NVIDIA will invest $1 billion and NAVER will fund the remaining amount to finance the $10 billion project.

This builds on NAVER’s June announcement to extend its GAK Sejong data center with NVIDIA DSX, with a long-term path to gigawatt-scale sovereign AI infrastructure serving Korea’s enterprises, industries, government organizations and global AI cloud customers. Combining Brookfield’s capital with NVIDIA’s computing platform, the investment supports NAVER’s AI factory deployment.

“NVIDIA’s strategic investment and our infrastructure supply agreement with Brookfield have propelled NAVER’s vision for the AI Factory business into a robust execution phase,” said Haejin Lee, Founder and Chairman of NAVER. “Leveraging the solid partnerships with our global partners, we will drive technological innovation, foster a sovereign AI ecosystem, and spearhead efforts to strengthen South Korea’s AI competitiveness.” 

AI Factory Expansion and Open Model Collaboration to Fuel AI Innovators

NAVER, as an NVIDIA Cloud Partner, provides deep expertise in operating hyperscale infrastructure powered by the full-stack NVIDIA AI platform. The 200-megawatt AI factory, featuring NVIDIA Vera Rubin and Blackwell platforms, will establish a dedicated resource pool for emerging AI companies, providing the compute, software and support needed to develop and deploy competitive AI models and applications at scale.

This expanded infrastructure also builds on NAVER and NVIDIA’s collaboration on open model development for agentic and physical AI. NAVER is advancing its HyperCLOVA X models to be based on NVIDIA Nemotron™ 3 Ultra open models with its proprietary data and training expertise. NAVER is also the first Korean company to join the NVIDIA Nemotron Coalition, contributing to open model development across pretraining, post-training and reinforcement learning.

NAVER plans to launch an AI agent platform in Korea in the second half of the year, powered by NVIDIA Agent Toolkit software including NVIDIA NemoClaw™ blueprints. NAVER is also developing a Seoul World Model using proprietary urban street-view and spatial modeling data, built on NVIDIA Cosmos™ world foundation models.

Beijing Review: Walking Through Time: China and U.S. Youths Explore Dali’s Past and Future

BEIJING, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On July 17, a China-U.S. youth delegation came to Dali of Yunnan Province. By examining how Dali’s rich history intersects with modern development, the delegates explored new pathways for rural development.

They visited Dali Old Town, tried their hand at making the Bai people’s Three-Course Tea and also explored the ancient town of Xizhou, where they learned how modern tourism and indigenous life coexist.

In Yunnanyi Village, they explored its history as a stop along the Tea Horse Road and learned about the role it played during the Second World War (WWII).

Tyler James Smith

“I think it’s a very underappreciated part of World War II history. Hearing these stories of different countries working together despite cultural differences is incredibly inspiring.

I also think there are many stories like these that haven’t been widely told, simply because World War II is such a complex period in history. That’s why I think it’s so meaningful to visit museums like this and experience these stories firsthand.”

At Xiangyun Economic and Technological Development Zone, they visited a local new energy company to see how green, low-carbon development is driving regional growth.

Valerie Marie

“I recently started studying energy transitions. I know China has been really big in the renewable energy sector. So actually getting to hear more about [China’s] 2060 [pledge], learning more about carbon neutrality [goals], as well as other zero-carbon goals, was cool.”

During their stay in Dali, they also strolled along the Erhai Lake Ecological Corridor.

Bai Yiwen

“I’d describe this journey as “to be continued,” because my own connection with Yunnan is far from over. For the U.S. delegates, this was only their first visit, so they’ve only had a glimpse of what Yunnan has to offer. I hope they will have more opportunities to come back to China, explore other cities in Yunnan, and discover even more of its people, culture and traditions.”

After Dali, the delegates will visit Beijing for more tours and exchanges. The event was co-hosted by China International Communications Group (CICG) Center for the Americas and the U.S.-based International Student Conferences.
