WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO FREEWAY, AS I MERGED BETWEEN TRUCKS, THE ENGINE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING AND WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" - APPARENTLY, POLARIS KNOWS ABOUT IT AND STILL HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS AS THE SEMI TRUCK BEHIND ME COULD HAVE NEVER STOPPED TO AVOID RUNNING ME OVER. FORTUNATELY, INSTANTLY UPON LOSING POWER AT 60MPH, I VEERED OFF THE FREEWAY, ONTO THE SHOULDER AS THE SEMI-TRUCK WHIZZED BY. PLEASE HELP ME EMPHASIZE TO POLARIS, HAVING THE ENGINE GO INTO NEARLY TOTAL LOSS OF POWER, OR "LIMP MODE" IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR A MOTORCYCLE RIDER. I'VE READ BLOGS OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS AND IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS.
