Example complaints

2014: “Motorcycle stalls when engaging throttle. The motorcycle can be in neutral and it still stalls engaging throttle. Happened ~ 5 time withint 2000 miles. Its a safety concern because cars behind me have to wait until I restart the motorcycle. It is not a clutch problem because it happens in neutral also.”
