“My XG750 was low on fuel. When leaving from a stop, at a stop & go light it felt as though it had no power causing me to turn the accelerator more. Then it got fuel catching me off guard and leaped out into traffic.no one was hurt but I feel this is a potentially dangerous situation. It has happened several times now always when the fuel is low.”

NHTSA complaint #10732969, filed 2015-07, 1,500 miles

“The motorcycle lags and leaps when taking off from a stop or when accelerating quickly. It has happened to me several times and I have only had the bike a few weeks. I bought it brand new. Luckily there were no cars around when it happened to me but if this happens to anyone while they are in traffic they will get seriously injured. Very scary.”

NHTSA complaint #10730812, filed 2015-06, 279 miles

“Motorcycle lurches and chokes when in 1st and 2nd gear leaving a stop light. Tank was a little more than half full. Filled up tank and it stopped the issue. Gas tank is not empty enough to cause low gas indicator to come on so unaware when the lurching will happen. I have not notified harley yet because it is sunday and I will have to wait til tuesday to contact the dealer.”

“I experienced a lag and leap issue. I was riding my bike with about 83 miles on the tank of gas and out of nowhere it would pretend to stall and then take off. Would continually do this in the lower gears. Added a new tank of gas and it went away. Got to the same mileage and happened all over again. Harley replaced my fuel pump but it was very scary and I am worried it may happen again.”

NHTSA complaint #10721773, filed 2015-05, 198 miles

“While driving at a steady 35 MPH or so, the bike suddenly lost engine power (as if I closed the throttle) then without warning it opened right back up and lunged me forward as if I suddenly twisted the throttle open again. This has happened both times I got low on gas but before the gas light came on! There was still quite a bit of gas in the tank. And when I fill up, the problem disappears until I drive another 75 miles or so.”
