Consumer Description

AFTER WARMING UP THE MOTORCYCLE PER MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS, I PROCEEDED TO RIDE. UPON COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN, I DECELERATED, PULLED IN THE CLUTCH AND THE ENGINE STALLED. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE ENGINE AND AFTER THREE TRIES GOT IT STARTED. THE NEXT STOP SIGN WAS 50 YARDS FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED (THE BIKE STALLED). THIS PROCESS WAS REPEATED AT ANOTHER STOP SIGN FOR A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES THAT MORNING. TEMPERATURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77 DEGREES. IN THE AFTERNOON, THE EXACT SAME SEQUENCE WAS REPEATED. TEMPERATURE WAS 88 DEGREES. THIS ENGINE STALLING BEHAVIOR HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OTHER DAYS. *TR
