A few months after I bought the bike, I had noticed a that it would run a little rough for a while. The problem would auto correct after the next ride so I didn't get too concerned about it. however after days would go I experienced a complete loss of power. The system would kick back to normal after physically turning the key to the off position and restarting after a few minutes . no warning as to when this would occur. up hill, down hill, at the start of my ride or at the end of it. Fast or slow. It did not matter. I took in to the dealer to correct the problem. They told me they needed to do a software adjustment. it ran nicely for a while but the same problem came back. I went again for the repair. Another software adjustment was made. yet again the problem came back after a while. the dealer has the bike now for yet another attempt to correct the problem riding this bike in that condition IS really dangerous especially in the freeway and I had too many close calls. that IS why I am filing this complaint. Somehow I think that the lemon law should apply . After checking motorcycle forums online, I can see that I am not the only one having this problem. *tr
