I WAS GOING 70 DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY BIKE SHUT OFF. LOOKED AT THE 30AMP FUSE UNDER THE SEAT AND IT WAS BLOWN. REPLACED IT WITH THE SPARE AND IT IMMEDIATELY BLEW. TRAILERED MY BIKE BACK TO MY HOUSE AND FOUND THE REGULARTOR/RECTIFIER SPARKING. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. BIKE WAS DRIVEN NORMALLY WITH NO RACING/SPEEDS OVER 80.

I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT WHEN THE VEHICLE NEXT TO ME TOLD ME THAT MY BIKE WAS ON FIRE. I WAS UNAWARE PRIOR TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE NEXT TO ME TELLING ME. I COULD NOT DIRECTLY SEE THE FLAME WHILE UPRIGHT ON THE BIKE, BUT I WAS ABLE TO LEAN OVER TO MY LEFT SIDE TO SEE A FLAME UNDERNEATH THE GAS TANK. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY BUT UNFORTUNATELY COULD NOT PUT THE FLAME OUT AS IT WAS NOT REACHABLE BY THE MEANS THAT I HAD AT THE TIME. THE FLAME WAS COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BIKE DIRECTLY UNDER THE GAS TANK. IT WAS MORE ON THE INTERIOR THAN ON THE EXTERIOR SO I COULD NOT REACH THE FLAME TO PUT IT OUT SO I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVED THE BIKE WAS ESSENTIALLY TOTALED BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT.

I HAVE OWNED THE BIKE FOR LESS THAN A YEAR NOW AND 3 TIMES THE REGULATOR HAS FRIED IN THE BIKE. I HAVE A NEW STATOR AND BATTERY IN THE BIKE ALL CHARGING FINE. LUCKILY ALL THE TIMES WHEN IT HAS STOPPED WORKING I WAS STOPPED. BUT ONCE I WAS 21ST A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THANKFULLY A DRIVER OF A CAR LET ME WALK IT TO THE SIDE WALK. IN AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHILE I'M GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND IT'S GOING CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE...TAKE MY LIFE.

ABRUPT ON/OFF THROTTLE CAN CAUSE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED RAPID DECELERATION AND ACCELERATION, DESTABILIZING THE VEHICLE POTENTIALLY LEADING TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR AT LOWER ENGINE RPM'S (4,000-6,000 RPM) AND SEEMS MOST PREVALENT AT HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURES (205+ DEGREES) AND ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON AND STARTED WHILE AT HIGHER TEMPERATURES. THIS COULD BE FROM A RUSTING THROTTLE CONTROL VALVE THAT IS NOT OPENING CORRECTLY. THE BIKE WAS STORED INDOORS AND RARELY SAW RAIN, SHOULD NOT BE RUSTING. *TR
