Consumer Description

WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOPLIGHT, THE MOTORCYCLE ENGINE LAGGED, SURGED, AND THEN STALLED COMPLETELY. THE MOTORCYCLE WOULD NOT RESTART WHILE STRAIGHT AND LEVEL. I WAS ABLE TO COAST THROUGH A RIGHT TURN TO DOWN A SMALL DECLINE WHERE I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AND CAREFULLY PROCEED TO A NEARBY GAS STATION (<1/4 MI.). THE TRIP INDICATOR SHOWED ~144MI. THE FUEL TANK TOOK 2.87GAL TO FILL. THE STATED CAPACITY OF THE STOCK FUEL TANK IS 3.5GAL, LEAVING ~0.6GAL IN THE TANK AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT OR ~20MI WORTH OF FUEL BEFORE EMPTY. IN A SEPARATE INCIDENT ON 5/3/2015 THE MOTORCYCLE WAS STOPPED AT A GAS STATION NEXT TO AN INOPERATIVE PUMP. THE TRIP INDICATOR SHOWED ~134MI. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE TO ANOTHER PUMP THE MOTORCYCLE WOULD NOT START. EVENTUALLY I PUSHED IT TO ANOTHER PUMP WHERE IT TOOK 2.47GAL TO FILL INDICATING ~1GAL WAS IN THE TANK AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.
