Consumer Description

WHEN FUEL IS LOW (USUALLY BELOW 1 GALLON), THE MOTORCYCLE BEHAVES DANGEROUSLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO MOVE FORWARD, SUDDENLY LOSE POWER CAUSING IT TO SLOW DOWN, AND SUDDENLY REGAIN POWER CAUSING IT TO ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY. MOST LIKELY CAUSE IS FUEL PUMP STARVATION. FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED AT FRONT OF THE TANK, AS VEHICLE MOVES FORWARD THE REMAINING GAS IS PUSHED TO THE REAR OF THE TANK, PUMP CAN'T MAINTAIN FUELING TO FUEL INJECTORS, CAUSING THE BIKE TO LOSE POWER AND SLOW. THE GAS THEN MOVES FORWARD, PUMP ACCESSES THE FUEL AND FEEDS THE SYSTEM CAUSING A SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED RETURN OF POWER AND ACCELERATION. AT STOPLIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS THIS COULD EASILY RESULT IN THE MOTORCYCLE BEING REAR-ENDED, AND IN CORNERS COULD EASILY CAUSE THE REAR WHEEL TO LOSE TRACTION RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
