Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The problem has been labeled the herky jerkies. While riding at any RPM when the rear wheel speed matches engine speed the throttle shuts off abruptly with no warning, throwing you forward overloading the front wheel. When the wheel slows enough that the ecu calls for fuel it delivers a large amount of fuel and the bike jerks forward unloading the front wheel causing an unrecoverable front wheel slide (while leaned over in a turn). There is a large amount of people including myself working on the problem, we have discovered ways to mask the problem but no resolution to date. …”
