ODI #11428739

Incident: August 10, 2021 · Filed: August 11, 2021

Engine stalls intermittently during clutch in (no load condition). This has happened in traffic at a traffic light when slowly rolling (when waiting on a vehicle in front to make a left hand turn), then need to restart engine -this increases the chance of a rear-end collision. Motorcycle ran perfect for approx first 1500 miles, then started stalling and having rough idle. Dealer performed charcoal canister filter replacement and issue went away for approx 700 miles before returning. Returned to dealer and second time they cleaned the throttle bodies and fuel tank. Now approx 500 miles later, it has stalled again two more times.
