Consumer Description

I bought the bike new and it is all stock, no addtl electrical additions. I was riding the bike had gone approx 35 miles the 1st & 2nd time and l was on a highway all of a sudden my bike lost power. It dropped speed from 65mph to under 40mph & my dash started to read VSS FAULT LIMP HOME..... I was almost hit multiple times by traffic coming up on me at higher speeds & bcz the bike has no emergency flashers l was almost struck. There were no service roads on HWY 380 East from Decatur, TX back to Denton, TX. So l was forced to ride on a hwy at 35-40mph w no hazards. I took it in to the dealership in Denton,TX at Freedom Powersports 2 days later the tech tells me it was maybe a brake fuse code. The bike was less than a year & less than 1500 miles on it. The 1st time it threw a VSS FAULT CODE l was on l-35 S heading to Dallas ,TX. l was about 20 miles out when the bike did the same thing it lost power as l was going about 65-67 mph. The bike was less than 3mo under 500 miles. The bike again quickly lost power & dropped speed fast down to 35mph & l saw the VSS LIMP HOME code come on my dash screen. I had to quickly change lanes & exit the interstate without being hit from behind bcz again l had no emergency flashers. I was told this time by Freedom Powersports of Lewisville,TX that it must have been a loose battery cable bcz the computer couldn't find any specific reason. It puts my life in grave danger & makes the bike un-reliable.
