Motorcycle experiences sudden loss of power as a result of fuel line becoming disconnected from fuel pump inside fuel tank. this has occurred to me twice; once while traveling on an interstate highway at highway speeds, and again on a secondary road. it IS a significant safety issue as I was in the third lane from the shoulder and had to, without power, weave through traffic in order to not be broken down in the middle of traffic traveling at 55 m.p.h. Or more. even on the secondary road, which was a four-lane highway, I had to maneuver the motorcycle through traffic to get to the shoulder of the highway so as not to be stopped in a travel lane. when this initially happened in june 2008, the motorcycle was under warranty and the dealership repaired the problem under that warranty. the dealership alerted me to the fact that this was a common problem on moto guzzi motorcycles from 2007, and that there had been a formal recall on another model of moto guzzi, but not on my model. I presumed the dealer repair in june 2008 was sufficient to remedy the problem until it happened again this month (june 2009). the motorcycle IS no longer under warranty, and I will need to foot the bill for the repair out of my own pocket. I am less bothered by the fact that I will need to have the same problem repaired a second time than for the potential for this to happen again to me or to others who ride these motorcycles. there IS a nhtsa recall on another moto guzzi model of this same year, but not on my particular model. if the problem IS typical of moto guzzis from 2007, it would seem that this recall should extend to all affected motorcycles. my particular model IS a moto guzzi nevada 750. form below will show norge, but that IS because you have no option to choose "nevada 750." the approximate incident date on this form IS the most recent occurrence of this event. the previous occurrence was in june 2008, and the exact date IS available if necessary. *Tr
