Consumer Description

WHILE DECELERATING A MOTORCYCLE AND PULLING THE CLUTCH, THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN AT RANDOM TIMES. THE ENGINE WILL HAVE TO BE RE-STARTED TO RUN. THIS OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS APPROXIMATELY 30 TIMES SINCE I FIRST TOOK DELIVERY OF THE MOTORCYCLE 1 MONTH AGO. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CAN BE IN AT A HIGH SPEED AND THE OPERATOR LOOSES THE ABILITY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. SO FAR, THE DEALERSHIP HAS RECOGNIZED THE ISSUE, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THIS AS I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVED IN THIS MALFUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO MY DEALERSHIP AND BEEN INFORMED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER, THAT THE VEHICLE'S EXHAUST VALVE IS CLOSING WHEN THE ENGINE APPROACHES IDLE AND THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STALL UNEXPECTEDLY. THE ONBOARD COMPUTER HAS A LOG OF THE FAULT CODE, BUT THE DEALERSHIP IS CURRENTLY NOT ABLE TO ERASE THAT CODE OR RECTIFY THE PROBLEM WITH THE CLOSING OF THE EXHAUST VALVE. *TR
