    My '06 has done this twice so far (happened just now actually)... Shortly after the fuel level drops from 2 bars down to 1 bar (not blinking yet), a semi-hard right turn at an intersection results in some pretty rough running for a few moments. I'm not dragging knee around the turn or anything, but it's not a leisurely turn either. Right after standing the bike up it feels as though it's going to cut off--kind of alarming really.

    Is it normal for these bikes to be so sensitive to fuel level? Ever since the first time I suspected it was fuel related and have tried to keep the tank over 1/4 full at all times. I hope it isn't an electrical problem. Has anyone else experienced this?
