ENGINE STALLS WHEN CLUTCH PULLED IN AT SLOW SPEEDS OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND CLUTCH IS PULLED IN TO SELECT LOWER GEAR. HAPPENED 6 TIMES IN TWO MONTHS. ABOVE MENTIONED INJURY HAPPENED UPON PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS FULLY WARMED UP, HAD BEEN IDLING FOR 6 MINUTES, AND AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY A CAR CAME BY. I PULLED IN CLUTCH AND ENGINE STOPPED. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS AND LOST BALANCE. BIKE FELL ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. I SPRAINED LEFT ANKLE AND BADLY BURNED IT ALSO. THE STALLING HAS OCCURRED WHEN COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN, WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A RED LIGHT, WHEN COMING DOWN A HILL ON A DIRT ROAD ETC. I HAD HOPES THAT IDLE SPEED COULD BE ADJUSTED HIGHER BUT DEALER SAYS THE IDLE IS DETERMINED BY ENGINE ELECTRONICS AND COMES FROM FACTORY PRESET.THE DEALER CANNOT ADJUST THE IDLE SPEED. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHERS WHO OWN THIS MODEL AND ALL OF THEM HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN RIDING MOTORCYCLES FOR 45YRS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. *TR
