“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10870222, filed 2016-05, 600 miles“Motorcycle experiences repeated throttle surges when attempting to decelerate. Problem worsens with increased ambient temps during summer months. Surges are most evident when attempting to slow to a stop or initiate a turn.”
