“Problems with 110 ci cvo engine map. Engine sometimes dies when shifting, pops back through intake. Had this happen on said date, when entering highway onto on ramp. I was coming up to highway speed, about 60-65 MPH, with two semi's in heavy traffic with ample space for me to merge into traffic. Pulled clutch in, and the engine died instantly. Had to take the bike to the shoulder of the road, to allow for semi's to pass by while hitting start button to restart the engine. After starting back up I was able then to merge into traffic. …”
