THE ENGINE CONTROL SOFTWARE REGULATES IDLE SPEED. WHEN THE CLUTCH LEVER IS EGAGAGED, AND THE ENGINE IS OPERATING AT IDLE, THE MOTORCYCLE ABRUPTLY STALLS REAGARDLESS OF SPEED. IT CAUSED A NEAR -REAR END CRASH AS ANY DOWNSHIFTING RESULTED IN STALLS INSTEAD OF IDLE.
ENGINE CONTROL UNIT: WHEN THE CLUTCH IS ENGAGED AND THE ENGINE SPEED IS NEAR IDLE, THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT TURNS OFF THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME THE MOTORCYCLE NEEDS TO COME TO A STOP (TRAFFIC LIGHT, STOP SIGN, ETC.). WHEN THE ENGINE SPEED IS KEPT ABOVE 3000 RPMS, THE BIKE RUNS FINE AND IDLES FINE IF THERE IS SUFFICIENT THROTTLE INPUT.
