Consumer Description

ACCELERATING FROM A STOP UP TO SPEED WHEN LOST THROTTLE RESPONSE, ENGINE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 1500-2000 RPM. WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SHUT BIKE DOWN AND WAITED A MINUTE AND RESTARTED IT. IT STARTED UP AND RAN AS NORMAL. TALKED TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND MADE THEM AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY SEEMED VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS ISSUE AND SAID TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WOULD GIVE ME A COST TO FIX. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ON A MANUFACTURES RECALL. WHAT IF I WERE TRYING TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE AND LOST THE ABILITY TO MERGE . *TR
