Consumer Description

1. IN THIRD GEAR AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WILL MAINTAIN SPEED AFTER RELEASING THE THROTTLE. 2. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH, MAYBE 5-6 TIMES A MONTH EVER SINCE OWING THE VEHICLE. THE TIME BEFORE LAST, I ALMOST RAN INTO A CAR THAT WAS BREAKING HARD IN FRONT OF ME. 3. PULLING IN ON THE CLUTCH IS THE PRIMARY WAY TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. ONCE I TESTED IT BY GOING UP A FAIRLY STEEP HILL. THE ENGINE ATTEMPTED TO CONTINUE THE SAME THROTTLE AMOUNT UNTIL THE BIKE SLOWED TO AROUND 15 MPH. IT THEN FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL. *TR
