| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The bike feels sluggish and acts as though it's running out of gas for anywhere from 1-4 seconds. once the surging begins it usually continues until the bike is ridden to lower altitudes (approx. < 1000') or the bike is shut off/on. stopping and turning the bike off/on resets the ecm or at least appears to fix the problem.surging is so bad it impacts safety as the bike will loose all power for 1-3 seconds at a time which has occurred in the middle of corners, etc. i have personally contacted yamaha on this problem and yet they claim it's the first they have heard about it!? yeah, right. my bike also surges ...badly and did on the very first trip i made with it with a whopping 300 miles on the bike. over the course of a 4 day trip (1577 miles) i quit counting after 30+ times it acted up...to the point where it nearly spoiled the trip. tbs sync doesn't appear to have any impact on the problem. perhaps yamaha or dealers will read this thread and realize the problem actually exists and it's time to fix it before someone gets killed. my bike now has 3,500 miles. purchased bike on 3/29/2007. *tr |
