Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A MOUNTAIN PASS (3,00FT), THROTTLE CONTROL BECAME UNSTABLE WITH ENGINE HESITATING THEN SURGING. AFTER EXITING FREEWAY THE BIKE VIOLENTLY SLOWED/SPEEDED UP WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED. THE FACT NO OTHER TRAFFIC WAS PRESENT PREVENTED AN ACCIDENT. AFTER SHUTTING THE BIKE OFF AND RESTARTING IT OPERATED NORMALLY UNTIL I DROVE BACK DOWN TO SEALEVEL WHERE THE PROBLEM BRIEFLY REPEATED. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO WARNINGS FROM THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURER. I WILL TAKE THE BIKE IN FOR SERVICE WHEN THEY OPEN THIS WEEK BUT REPORTS FROM OTHER OWNERS INDICATE THE MANUFACTURER HAS YET TO VERIFY/CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR
