Example complaints

“Bmw f650gsa surges and stalls. You can never tell when it's going to do either. One time I was in the redwood forest out by bogeda bay california and before I knew it I was a surging so hard I thougth I was going to be bucked off. The dealer is aware of this problem and says there's nothing wrong. If you keep after them they will say to ride the motorcycle in very high RPM's. I don't think they know what it feels like or sounds like when I'm doing 25mph at 6000 rpms which is just below the redline limit.”
