up to 112 -115 mph on demand.
after that: could not pull uphill or into headwind with out down shifting.
I guess this is the part of the story that is getting me 112-115mph ???? I don't get it, but glad to hear that you are fine. Good luck, I guess, in whatever you try to do.

I don't have the problem but it sure sounds fuel related. Did anybody check the fuel filter, maybe the bike had a dose of water or diesel run through it?

You sound like an idiot to me. Sueing because you made a pass that was so close that you had to ditch because the bike burped? IF the dealer did screw up the bike, have them fix it and move on. Quit trying to blame the world for your mistakes and quit trying to make money by thinking up ways to sue people for stupid crap. Why don't you sue McDonalds for making you fat, or better yet sue your parents for making you stupid. Be a man for god's sake!

God Bless and ride safe,

I've had many failed passes...
You think you have time... you realize you don't.
Normally you grab the brake, slow down and get back over.

I can understand your frustration, but some responsibility has to be on the rider.
Also, I see you did air cleaner and pipes, but when did you tune it to handle the leaner condition.

I'm not usually this harsh, but I hate lawsuits because we feel the man can afford it.
