NHTSA Complaint #10509113 — 2013 KAWASAKI NINJA 300

I GOT A BRAND NEW KAWASAKI NINJA 300, BUT HAVE ISSUES WITH IT STALLING. I ALLOW IT TO WARM UP FOR AT LEAST 5-10 MINUTES BEFORE RIDING, AS INSTRUCTED BY KAWASAKI, THIS DOES NOT HELP. EVERY MORNING I COME TO A STOP RIGHT AFTER I START MY RIDE TO WORK, WHEN I PULL IN THE CLUTCH THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY DAY AND PERSISTS UNTIL GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVING A FEW MILES BEFORE IT ACTUALLY WARMS UP. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEIR TECH RODE IT AND IT HAPPENED TO THEM TOO. I CALLED KAWASAKI AND BASICALLY ALL THEY WERE ABLE TO TELL ME IS THE BIKE NEEDS TO WARM UP TO AN OPTIMAL TEMPERATURE. I DISAGREE AND THINK THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT KAWASAKI IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT, THEY ARE CALLING IT 'NORMAL RIDING CONDITIONS'. *TR
