2015 Harley-Davidson XG750 Vehicle speed control Problems

“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.”

“At the dealer, I test tried the x500. At the first stop sign, I accelerated and the motorcycle stalled. When I decelerated, the gas in the gas tank moved and the bike ran again. I went back to the dealer immediately and reported the problem, explaining what had just happened. They told me that it must have been the governor. I asked for the x750, everything went perfect and I bought it. The first incident occurred at a traffic light. I accelerated and the bike stalled. Once I decelerated and gas in the tank moved again. …”

“As I entered an intersection in 1st gear, the motorcycle failed to accelerate and then surged forward. I had just gotten my motorcycle endorsement and had very little riding experience. Fortunately, I was able to maintain control of the motorcycle. Another incident happened soon after as I was taking a right hand curve. I was in second gear and slowed as I approached the right hand curve. I attempted to accelerate through the curve and the motorcycle lagged and then suddenly leaped forward, causing me to fishtail and almost run off of the road. …”

“I believe that there may be poor vibrational design or quality control for the left foot shifter linkage that connects to the transmission. I was going uphill and noticed the bike lose speed when shifting to 4th and 5th gear. After a couple of hills, as I was going downhill the shifter would not downshift. I pulled over and saw that the bolt was almost out of the shifter linkage and that the fasteners were nowhere to be found. Possibly poorly torqued or not enough vibrational protection. Happened around 70 miles on bike. Bike is being transported to shop tomorrow”

“This vehicle will hesitate when accelerating from a full stop and then feel as if it is about to stall then surge. The pattern may repeat several times over several seconds before there is consistent full power. It happenes when there is about 85-90 miles driven on a full tank. I was almost rear-ended several times recently since the driver behind me reasonably expected that I would be able to maintain acceleration away from the stop. Furthermore, it is nearly impossible to maintain control of a turn from a stop when the bike is hesitating and surging throughout the turn. …”
