• I was going through a slight curve, not a big one just a normal curve going about 20 miles per hour when I tried to slow down the bike sort of stalled so I went straight into the curb into where I hit a tree. There are many people that saw e incident and found it very strange as well as I did.

• Pulling in the clutch causes the rpms to drop below 1000 rpm causing the engine to die or stall. This happens frequently. It can occur several times in a row or it can be several days before it happens again. I've tried to increase idle speed to 2000 rpm, manufacturer recommends 1300, which did not help.

• I would slow down to a stop and the engine would stall. I would then put it back into neutral and restart the motorcycle. It would happen a few times until the motor gets warm, then it stops stalling. It happened to me at least 3-7 times when riding it today. This happened to me about 4 times now.

  Moteur · 2013-06-28 · plainte NHTSA n° 10522328

• Pulled the clutch in when coming to a stop and the bike stalled. Happened 8 more times getting the bike home. I have adjusted the idle to 1500 rpm and the bike now drops to 1100 rpm when clutching during a stop then recovers to 1500 rpm after stopping.
