We completed a 1,500 mile trip from near Chattanooga, TN up the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive, and then into Washington DC and back on I-81 and I-75 last week. The bike ran beautifully without so much as a hickup. Today we were out for a ride and pulled up to a stop light after running about 45 for a couple miles. As the light turned green and I twisted the throttle, it acted like it was locked in about 4th gear. The engine could not rev up and acceleration was very slow. I tried putting it in manual mode and shifting down or up manually, but it had no effect. It's like it was locked into 3rd or 4th gear. I took it out of manual mode and it seemed to make no difference. As we got up to about 35-40 MPH, suddenly it returned to normal. I made several other stops and starts after that without incident. Any ideas about what is going on?
