What owners report
I WAS RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE ON A SCENIC BY-WAY WITH NO SHOULDER TRAVELLING 30MPH IN A 40 MPH ZONE. THE MOTOR TURNED ITSELF OFF DASH LIGHTS FLASHED AND THE BIKE WOULD NOT RESTART. THERE WAS TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND I COASTED TO A STOP WHERE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART IT FINALLY DID. BUT THEN IT WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" REDUCED POWER WHICH THE DEALER HAD TO CLEAR.
IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SO FAR. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN ABOUT EVERY THIRTY MINUTES OF RIDING OR SO. EACH TIME I HAD BEEN WAITING AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN I STARTED OFF AND HAD MADE 2 OR 3 SHIFTS AND WAS ACCELERATING LIGHTLY THE BIKE LOST POWER SUDDENLY AND THE MOTORCYCLE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING STARTED FLASHING ON MY INFORMATION PANEL. THE BIKE WOULD ONLY RUN AT IDLE SPEED FOR ANYWHERE FROM A FEW SECONDS TO AS MUCH AS 15 OR 20 SECONDS AND THEN GO INTO A "LIMP IN" MODE WHICH LETS THE THROTTLE WORK A LITTLE. THE POWER OF THE ENGINE IS THEN CUT BACK CONSIDERABLY. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHILE IT'S GOING INTO LIMP MODE, YOU HAVE TO JUST COAST OR PULL OVER AND WAIT UNTIL THE BIKE HAS SOME POWER TO GET GOI
