Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My motorcycle will start and run for a while but will randomly shut off when the engine gets down to idle. This problem is not persistent and seems to happen one day, be fine for a few days, and then arise again. When the bike is running and I 'm up at speed it runs flawlessly, but every now and then the bike doesn't want to idle and it will die when I come to a stop or if I keep in the clutch too long and the RPM drops too low. …”
