Consumer Description

MOTORCYCLE WILL FOR NO REASON DIE OR IDLE FAST AROUND 3,500 RPM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN LETTING OFF THE THROTTLE TO TURN AROUND A CORNER AND THE BIKE DOES NOT SLOW DOWN. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 5 DIFFERENT RIDE DAYS. IT WOULD STALL WHEN LETTING OFF THE GAS OR ACCELERATE. I ALWAYS WAS ABLE TO LET THE BIKE REST START STOP THE MOTOR 5 TO 30 TIMES AND IT WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL. I ALMOST WENT OF THE ROAD IN THE MOUNTAINS WHEN IT 1ST HAPPENED. LET OFF THE GAS FOR A TIGHT CORNER AND THE BIKE DID NOT SLOW IT SPEED UP. *TT *CN
