Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Riding at a constant speed in either 3rd or 4th gear, approx. 30-40mph. Was preparing to make a left turn in the left turn lane so began decelerating by downshifting through all gears until reaching neutral. Once I got to neutral, the engine stalled within 1 or 2 seconds later. Light braking was being applied during this event. Engine stalled while motorcycle was still in motion, approx around 10-20mph. Used brakes to completely stop motorcycle and restarted it without issue. There are lots of discussions about this engine stalling issue in forums online.”
