Example complaints

“I was traveling on the freeway at approximately 75 MPH when traffic started to slow down. As I rolled off the throttle to slow down the engine completely died. I had to coast through multiple lanes of high speed freeway traffic to get to the shoulder. I saw that no warning/ check engine lights had come on, the fuel gauge indicated that it had approximately 3/4 of a tank, the kill switch was in the run position, and the kick stand was securely up. While coasting to the shoulder I noticed that the tachometer showed about 1,000 RPM even though the clutch was in and the engine was completely dead. …”
