Consumer Description

WHEN RIDING ABOUT 5500 RPMS IN SECOND GEAR THE THROTTLE SYSTEM BECAME COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. THE ENGINE WILL NOT GAIN RPMS NO MATTER HOW FAR THE THROTTLE WAS TURNED. ONE MUST LET THE THROTTLE RETURN TO THE STARTING POSITION AND THEN SLOWLY TURN IT BACK TO ACCELERATE. THIS WAS A STARTLING EVENT, EVEN WHEN IT IS KNOWN TO HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE IN THE COURSE OF RIDING THERE WERE SO MANY OTHER FACTORS TO BE CONCERNED WITH, SUCH AS NOTING THE POSITION OF OTHER TRAFFIC, STEERING, ETC. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND WAS MOST DEFINITELY A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN/MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE.*AK
