“The bike as developed a low speed low RPM hesitation and stalling, it is a real danger when it suddenly clears and the bike will accelerate hard, making rear wheel traction a concern. The bike runs well and higher RPM and speeds with good ,normal fuel consumption around 40 mpg, in town low speed stumbling mpg is from a low of 27 to 32 mpg. The local dealer has the bike for the 4th week and seem to think all is well, they all seem to do it . Was one statement made on the phone. I feel they are waiting for the warranty to expire and suddenly have a fix.”
