From owner reports, verbatim
While attempting to accelerate at a traffic light. My motorcycle loss power due to a hand controls issue. Which resulted in me being involved in a hit and run. While engaging the clutch I began to twist the throttle and the bike immediately loss power. This was the second time I experienced this with the 1st left me thinking it was because of my hand position ans possibly hitting the switch. After speaking to other owners of this model, I discovered that this is an ongoing issue and leaves me concerned for my safety as well as others. I could've been killed due to this issue
