Twice during the same ride, the vehicle had a total loss of power while under quick acceleration and displayed a "system fault S86" which the manual lists as "motor controller -- motor over current". when this occurs, the motorcycle loses all power and had to be pulled to the side of the road and powered on/off. first instance I was trying to pass a vehicle on an uphill grade, the second while trying to accelerate onto the freeway. an motor power loss like this IS extremely dangerous any time a vehicle IS at speed, but it's especially threatening when it occurs during a passing or freeway merging situation. in both cases, I was able to get to the side of the road, but given heavier traffic or an oncoming car during a passing situation and this could be life threatening.
