| Description of the problem | I was driving about 10 to 15 mph up a hill with a good amount of gas remaining in the tank as the bike suddenly lost power. After about a second or two, it regained power, almost like it had lost the fuel source and then found it again. This made for the bike to launch forward and almost cause me to be tossed from the bike. This has happened a few times in the past few months, whenever the fuel level hits a certain amount in the tank. *jhs |
