“For over a year now my Scout will uncontrollably rev in low gears after getting hot. This happens at stops and going into turns most commonly. Multiple times it has almost caused me to wreck and if I were a less experienced rider I would have. I have contacted multiple dealers to attempt an under warranty fix and have been told they have fix and that they arent even aware of the problem.”
