My 2012 DS ZF9 has developed an annoying glitch. I feel and hear a little "thud" sound from the motor and all of the sudden all the power is lost. Applying throttle even causes a slowdown if moving; applying throttle while standing still will induce a slight *backwards* motion. The usual reset with the ignition key takes care of that glitch usually, however I needed to do that at least 7 times Friday to get moving

Saturday, I lost power while in a tight curve and almost fell.

Is this a known problem? Is there a solution?

Sounds like you're seeing Glitch 2.0.

Let's consolidate posts there, but I've had the "motor in reverse" thing happen to me (happily while stationary).

Yup, sounds exactly like it. I will continue the discussion there, thanks for pointing the thread out.

I have a 2012ds9 that i got in august. I had the glitch to start with some and traffic not bad where i live Arkanasa. Got recall but have not had it done 175 to dealer. It stopped with the glitches in October last year when it started cooling down and now it is warming up the glitch is back. I rode all winter no problem. I have an appointment set up now.

I'll post a response in the other thread (so we can keep everything in one place).
