Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On a daily basis, while operating the motorcycle with the clutch engaged, in gear, and at idle speed, the engine will stall. This occurs when you are stopping for a stop sign, red light, or in bumper-to-bumper traffic. When this occurs, you can not restart the engine. New restrictions on the motorcycle do not allow the engine to be started with the motorcycle clutch engaged with it in gear . You must come to a complete stop, place the transmission in neutral. And then you are allowed to restart the engine. This is problematic at best and extremely hazardous when in bumper-to-bumper traffic. …”
