I have an XVS950A I bought new in 2009, and I really like this machine. It has 22,000 miles on it, and I´ve had my first trouble. After riding it for 20 or so miles (well warmed up) it begins to cut out. When it does, I release the throttle and pull in the clutch, wait about 5-10 seconds, release the clutch and open the throttle again, we´re running for a while--sometimes 3-4 minutes; sometimes 5 to 10 seconds, before it does it again.
