“I have significant safety issues with my 2012 triumph tiger 800 ABS. It relates to engine stalling. Others have reported similar problems on internet forums, and so I have decided to file a safety complaint. I have had my tiger 800 for several weeks, and have put on about 1500 miles. On two separate occasions I have had issues with stalling. On both occasions I had been riding on relatively hot days (85 degrees f) for several hours. I had no issues with overheating. Suddenly and without warning, my bike began to stall every time I rolled off the throttle. The bike would not idle. …”
