A better question is: Does anyone NOT have this issue, or a variant of it !
Inconsistent / Out of control behavior has been a constant issue since the release of the 976, if this thread is to be believed.
It would be nice to hear from Outlaw that they are looking into it, or working on it, but ............nothing !!
I try not to touch mine for any reason - it has a mind of its own and its a sadistic b.....d !

Maybe they are sending us all free harmonys ??
