Consumer Description

AFTER TRAVELING FOR A FEW MINUTES AT 35 MILES PER HOUR IN SECOND GEAR I APPLIED THE THROTTLE TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE ENGINE FAILED TO RESPOND FOR SEVERAL SECONDS LEAVING ME EXPOSED IN THE PASSING LANE. THEN IT ACCELERATED SUDDENLY AND STRONGLY CATCHING ME BY SURPRISE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO ACCELERATE IN 2ED GEAR FROM 35MPH. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY IT IS AN ECU PROBLEM AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX. I BELIEVE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY FOR SOMEONE TRYING TO MERGE INTO FASTER TRAFFIC AS WHEN ENTERING THE FREEWAY. I AM IN CONTACT WITH SEVERAL OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR MOTORCYCLE AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE INTERVENE BEFORE SOME IS SERIOUSLY INJURED.
