Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1. while riding my new 2007 yamaha fjr1300 motorcycle through mountainous areas and gaining altitude from 1000-3000 feet, the throttle control begins surging and on/off throttle adjustments become very abrupt. 2. the consequences of this throttle control problem are that the motorcycle becomes very difficult to control and unsafe to ride. 3. turning the motorcycle off and back on will temporarily correct the problem until gaining more altitude, then the problem returns. no repairs have yet been performed, the several yamaha dealer service departments i contacted were not familiar with the problem.
