2025: “Engine constantly stalls when coming to stop. It has stalled at stoplights and intersections when trying to takeoff. It’s also stalled when coming to a stop with the clutch in the engine dies. I have been riding motorcycles for 50+ years. It’s been to the dealer several times and it still does it. Install several times every time I take it for a ride.”
