“On several occasions, my 2012 Yamaha xtz1200 Super Tenere has failed to decelerate when I completely shut the throttle. The engine continued to rev at over 3,000rpms and the motorcycle maintained approximately 40mph, without throttle input. This motorcycle is not equipped with cruise control. Braking to stop required me to overcome the torque of the engine powering the bike forward at over 3,000 rpms in addition to the velocity of the machine itself. …”
