BIKE IS PRONE TO STALLING EITHER FROM DOWNSHIFTING OR OPENING THE THROTTLE SUCH AS STARTING OUT FROM A STOP OR LOW RPM SHIFT. I'VE PUT ABOUT 200 MILES ON THIS BIKE AND NOTICED THE BIKE HAS STALLED MORE THAN 10 TIMES WHILE PULLING FROM A STOP, MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, OR MAKING A TURN. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER CHANGES THE CENTER OF GRAVITY AND BALANCE ON THE BIKE AND IN ONE CASE I HAD TO QUICKLY BRACE THE BIKE WHILE BRINGING THE BIKE UNDER CONTROL. THE END EFFECT WAS THE BIKE CRUSHED MY FOOT UNDER THE EXHAUST AS THE BIKE WAS IN A LEAN WHILE TURNING. RESEARCH INTO THIS "STALLING" SHOWS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS BIKE. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ECM / FUEL / AIR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. I'M CONCERNED THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SUCH AS BEING REAR ENDED OR STALLING WHILE CROSSING LANES OF TRAFFIC. *TR
