| Description of the problem | While riding on the freeway i tried to accelerate, i was lower on gas (approximately, 1 - 1. 25 gallon left). The bike only has a 3. 5 gallon tank, as i attempted to accelerate while passing a vehicle in traffic, the bike lagged, no response for a quarter to half second, and then suddenly it leaped forward and then lagged again. It continued to do this for a second or two until i released the throttle and accelerated very slowly. This was a very dangerous situation as i was sharing a lane to pass (as allowed in california), and this happen leaving me stuck between two vehicles. This has happened many times before, but only when i low gas (gas light is on). |
