“I was decelerating and downshifted to 1st gear at 4 MPH, I pulled the clutch in and coasted to a stop then the engine stalled. I tried to start button, but there was no catching. I pressed the start button and accelerated the RPM's to 4000 then the bike took off abruptly. One thousand feet later, I was coming to a stop at 5 MPH and the engine turned off again. A half mile later I was in first gear into a corner at 5 MPH then the engine died. There was no starting with the start button, so I popped the clutch and the engine started and I accelerated. …”
