A surge condition at engine speeds between 2,500 toover 4,000 RPM. The surge condition causes a momentary loss of power, then powers up again. If riding in a turn, and the surge condition occurs, the balance of the motorcycle is upset. The surge results in an imbalance that has caused me grave concern for my sersonal safety. The condition was first experienced shortly after I purchased the bike.
