In owners' own words
I experienced a lag and leap issue. I was riding my bike with about 83 miles on the tank of gas and out of nowhere it would pretend to stall and then take off. Would continually do this in the lower gears. Added a new tank of gas and it went away. Got to the same mileage and happened all over again. Harley replaced my fuel pump but it was very scary and I am worried it may happen again. Fuel/propulsion system · reported at 198 miles
Motorcycle lurches and chokes when in 1st and 2nd gear leaving a stop light. Tank was a little more than half full. Filled up tank and it stopped the issue. Gas tank is not empty enough to cause low gas indicator to come on so unaware when the lurching will happen. I have not notified harley yet because it is sunday and I will have to wait til tuesday to contact the dealer. Fuel/propulsion system · reported at 460 miles
If the vehicle's fuel tank level is approx. Half or lower, the vehicle may abruptly stall and surge forward. The lower the fuel level is, the more often and abruptly the stall and surge is, and can happen during normal driving conditions, especially up an incline. This happens before the low fuel indicator illuminates. This behaviour can easily cause an accident or fatality. Fuel/propulsion system · reported at 50 miles
