Vince, I know Im no expert but had a similar thing happen to me in the past, it turned out to be the connecting plug that goes into the throttle was not plugged in snugly as it worked to lose it went into limp mode and might not be your issue but a quick look can't hurt. see my photos below that will help understand what I am saying. Lets hope it is something as simple as that.

Thanks, Geoff. I took a look, and everything seems to be pretty snug there. Oddly, this problem is so intermittent. There's no pattern or commonalities to when it occurs. So I sent an email to Motorad's headquarters. Now waiting to see if they reply. I want to get this fixed before the warranty runs out.
Vince, I wish you all the best in resolving that. I don't know about American laws but we have a law here that says an item etc is also supposed to last a reasonable time it is covered by Australian consumer laws which also cover things like this that run out of manufacturers warranty, however, the safeguards that if it is considered reasonable I know define reasonable but if you have records that you have taken it to the dealership and they should have that noted also then you should be ok at least that is how it works in Australia. Dont take no for an answer from them and I understand that if it is intermittent it can be hard to find the issue. Writing to Motorrad will also help and who knows they may investigate more on your behalf.
