NHTSA Complaint #10521883 — 2013 KAWASAKI NINJA 300

THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH THE KAWASAKI NINJA 300 SE IS THE STALLING ISSUE THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED. THE ISSUE NEVER HAPPENS IN THE MORNING, IT HAPPENS AFTER I DRIVE THE BIKE THEN IT SITS OUTSIDE. THE TIME BEFORE I RIDE IT AGAIN COULD BE A HALF HOUR, OR 8 HOURS. I START UP THE BIKE AND LET IT WARM UP A COUPLE MINUTES, THEN BEGIN DRIVING. NO PROBLEMS UP TO THIS POINT. I THEN GET NEAR MY FIRST STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT AND EASE OFF THE THROTTLE AND PULL THE CLUTCH IN TO DOWN SHIFT. THE SECOND I PULL THE CLUTCH IN, THE RPM'S DROP AND THE BIKE STALLS OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST THREE DAYS I HAVE DRIVEN IT. ONE TIME I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION TRYING TO START MY BIKE, THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE ON THE HTTP://WWW.KAWASAKININJA300.COM/ FORUM. PLEASE SEE HTTP://WWW.KAWASAKININJA300.COM/FORUM/11-NINJA-300-ISSUES-TROUBLESHOOTING/928-NINJA-300-STALL.HTML WHERE THERE ARE OVER 54 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS. *TR
