Consumer Description

DOWNSHIFTING THE MOTORCYCLE STALLS FREQUENTLY UPON SLOWING AND PULLING IN THE CLUTCH. USUALLY THIS OCCURS AT DECELERATION IN SECOND OR FIRST GEAR. ONE CAN SEE THE RPM DIP BELOW THE NORMAL IDLE SPEED AND THEN THE BIKE STALLS. THIS IS QUITE DANGEROUS AS IT OCCURS IN NORMAL RIDING CONDITIONS AND OCCURS MULTIPLE TIMES IN ONE RIDE. RECENTLY IT OCCURRED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ONLY MY QUICK ACTION AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. I TRIED EVERYTHING THE DEALER RECOMMENDED, FUEL ADDITIVES ETC.. NOTHING WORKS - ALMOST TOO DANGEROUS TO RIDE. *TR
