| The bike as developed a low speed low rpm hesitation and stalling, it is a real danger when it suddenly clears and the bike will accelerate hard, making rear wheel traction a concern.the bike runs well and higher rpm and speeds with good ,normal fuel consumption around 40 mpg, in town low speed stumbling mpg is from a low of 27 to 32 mpg.the local dealer has the bike for the 4th week and seem to think all is well, they all seem to do it . was one statement made on the phone. i feel they are waiting for the warranty to expire and suddenly have a fix. | |||
