Consumer Description

RIDING MOTORCYCLE IN WARM TO HOT WEATHER. WHEN CORNERING OR DOWNSHIFTING FOR STOP MOTORCYCLE SURGES LIKE NOT TAKING FUEL THEN STALLS AND WON'T IMMEDIATELY RESTART. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD WHEN POSSIBLE, AFTER A MINUTE, BIKE CAN RESTART AND SOMETIMES MAKE A FEW MORE MILES BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. ABLE TO "LIMP" BIKE HOME. STARTED AROUND 5000 MILES- BIKE TO DEALER ONCE AND WASN'T FIXED - BACK AT DEALER NOW, THEY SUSPECT FUEL PUMP, BUT IT IS UNKNOWN IF THIS WILL FIX PROBLEM. I CONSIDER THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THIS HAS LEFT ME STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES IN REMOTE AREAS AND ON SIDE OF HIGHWAYS AND BUSY CITY STREETS. IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, IT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH DUE TO SUDDEN STOP IN TRAFFIC. FIRST OCCURRED AROUND APRIL 10, 2010 IN TX. *TR
