Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was riding on an interstate highway at about 60-65 MPH and pulled in the clutch, to downshift from 6th to 5th gear. In mid-shift like this, I then decided that maybe traffic wasn't slowing that much, after all, and was just about to release the clutch and continue to ride in 6th gear. In that second or two, the engine stalled, presumably because my longer than usual pause in the shift process had allowed the engine rpms to drop down to approximately idle speed (about 1,000rpm). With the clutch still pulled in, I hit the starter button; the engine fired up again, and I released the clutch. …”
