Consumer Description

MOTORCYCLE SHUTS OFF AFTER REDUCING THROTTLE DURING DECELERATION AND DURING SHIFTING. MANY RIDERS OF THE SAME MODEL MOTORCYCLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE BIKE IS W/O POWER AND SOMETIMES DURING DOWNSHIFTING THE REAR TIRE LOSES TRACTION AND CAUSES THE BIKE TO SLIDE SIDEWAYS. *NM
