What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
After coming to a stop at a stop sign motorcycle stalled out. Clutch was pulled in and slowly being released had not yet gotten into the fiction zone. Went to give it some gas and noticed no increase in engine noise or increase in rpms. Looked down at the display and bike had stalled out.
Motorcycle will, at random, simply die while at a standstill. The times this has happened in heavy traffic, there is a great possibility that someone in a car behind, might rearend me. Motorcycle will also die, at random, during normal course of riding. This has happened during downshifting mostly.
As soon as the clutch was held in rolling into a red light, the rpm's went straight to zero and stalled. It was even harder restarting the bike again. This is a major concern, many people on forums have been having the same issue with the motorcycle and it needs to be fixed because its dangerous.
