I had a stalling issue and was brought in for repair 2 months ago and again the motorcycle stalled on the freeway at 65mp twice (trying to get to a safe place) and again at [address] and 25 mph while pulling into a gas station. It is now in for it's second repair.
The motorcycle stalled while downshifting at lower rpm levels. I had been riding the bike at freeway speeds(65-75 mph) for approximately 45-50 minutes and then moved on to the city streets (stop and go and 30-35 mph) and within approximately 2 miles, the bike experienced the stalling.
