| Description of the problem | Motorcycle will bog down and then surge without warning if there is about 1/3 of a tank left. Low fuel indicator never comes on before it happens and it's worse when driving on hills or while banking in turns. Last night was the third time this has happened to me as i was coming up the hill and turning in to my driveway the motorcycle bogged down, and before i could completely roll off the throttle it accelerated and pushed the rear wheel out causing me to lay my bike down. |
