Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1. bike was badly hesitating starting off in 1st gear from a stop. 2. turning the throttle to accelerate would sometimes pitch me forward on the start as the engine hesitated, then turning it a bit more would almost throw me off as it accelerated. 3. one dealership tried adjusting the throttle position sensor (tps) and it actually made the problem worse. the next dealership replaced the tps unit and it has been running fine since. *ak
