Description of the problem	While i was shifting, when i depressed the clutch, the engine fully revved. During this instance, i tapped the gas pedal to see if it was sticking. It was not sticking and was fully out. This happened so fast as i was driving on hills in the mountains and had to turn the key off, which was the only was to stop the revving. By the time all this had happened though, the tach went to 7,000 rpm. The motor redlines at about 6400, just fyi. This never happened before and a serious outcome could have developed, and would have definitely developed if my wife had been driving the bike. Thinking back, i was probably doing 40-50 mph. Sunny, about 90 degrees f. In the mountains with a lot of hills and turns. Now, returning home it "sort of" happened again. The engine revved to about 3500 rpm this time while depressing the clutch to shift. However, now being alert to the issue, i put it back in gear. Then put it in and out of gear to see if the revving stopped. Just fyi, yes the bike is a 2015. However, the bike only has 7,600 miles. When i arrived home, i had my wife depress the gas pedal several times to see if i noticed anything. First glance, without really investigating, i could see no linkage in the engine bay. This is a very dangerous situation as this just happened today. My wife will not be driving this bike now for reasons stated above.
