Consumer Description

THE FAILURE ONLY SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN THE BIKE HAS BEEN RIDDEN FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR. AT THAT POINT THE ENGINE WILL NOT RETURN TO IDLE AFTER THE THROTTLE IS RELEASED (IT FEELS LIKE TURNING ON THE CRUISE CONTROL). THIS FAILURE WILL OCCUR BOTH WITH THE BIKE IN GEAR MOVING AND WHILE STOPPED. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE FIRST OCCURS AGAIN AFTER RIDING FOR MORE THAN ONE HOUR. WHEN DOWN SHIFTING WITHOUT ANY APPLICATION OF THROTTLE THE BIKE WILL FIRST ACCELERATE THEN START TO SLOW DOWN. THE BIKE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR TWO ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE THE AIR BOX AND THE SECOND UPDATED THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE. *TR
