| Description of the problem | At low fuel (approx . 9 gallons left in tank), while accelerating from a stop, motorcycle will lose fuel pressure, unexpectedly throwing the rider forward. A second later, the fuel delivery resumes, throwing the rider backwards. Filling the tank with fuel fixes the problem until a low fuel condition is once again reached. This happened to me several times. Most recently when this occurred, i stopped to fill the tank. I put 2. 6 gallons of gas in the 3. 5 gallon capacity tank, and this solved the "lag and leap" problem. I have called h-d factory 3 times regarding this issue, they always refer me to my dealer, where the bike has already been in for this issue 3 times. I believe at low fuel condition, the remaining fuel in the tank is being forced away from the pickup during acceleration, and returning shortly thereafter, causing this very unsafe condition. |
