NHTSA Complaint #11474819 — 2021 HARLEY-DAVIDSON RA1250

Twice while at a busy intersection and after stopping, I inadvertently stalled the engine when releasing the clutch after stopping. This is a non-issue if I can immediately restart the engine and get moving. However, when I try to restart the engine to clear the intersection as cars are swerving around me. I hit the starter and it just "screeches" and the engine does not start. I wait several seconds, then hit the start button again and the engine started and I cautiously move on. This has happened twice at busy intersections and puts me at risk as I am sitting in the intersection on a motorcycle that won't start as cars swerve by. The starter "screech" rather that starting the engine is a common issue with this model motorcycle and is especially prevalent after an engine stall, thus the greater risk at intersections. I have had it take as many as four starting attempts to get the engine to start. This problem is not unique to my motorcycle. It is a common occurrence for many Harley Davidson Pan America owners and is well documented by owners on the Owner Forums. this issue has been reported to Harley Davidson on multiple occasions along with other electronic issues, however they have not been able to resolve it and apparently have no "fix" available. The condition has been ongoing for a year on my motorcycle.
