2008: “My 2008 Yamaha fjr 1300 engine stalls when I am slowing to come to a stop or when I'm idling. Every time I have ridden it, I have experienced the engine stalling when I am shifting down to come to a stop, causing the rear tire to slide just for a moment. Luckily I have been able to control the motorcycle without having an accident. I know there is a recall for the 03-05 fjr1300.”
