Power train, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 20, 2021
Upon coming to a stop to make a left turn, while pulling in the clutch to engage first gear, the engine quit, stranding me in the middle of the roadway while attempting to restart motorcycle. Traffic to my rear could collide into me as well as possible cross traffic. This has happened multiple times in multiple situations. No warning lights or messages occurred prior to engine stalling. While personally investigating the problem I have found that this appears to be a common problem with this model of motorcycle and anecdotal reports indicate the manufacturer has developed an internal repair procedure to address this issue only after owners have reported it, which is after the potential safety issue has occurred. My motorcycle was purchased new from the dealership.
Power train, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 5, 2021
Upon starting from a stop, then rapidly stopping to avoid vehicle who had unexpectedly stopped in front of me, the engine quit, stranding me in the middle of the intersection while attempting to restart motorcycle. Traffic to my rear could collide into me as well as possible cross traffic. This has happened several times and I have video documentation. Dealer has not been able to duplicate problem. No warning lights or messages occurred prior to engine stalling. While personally investigating the problem I found that this appears to be a common problem with this year make and model of motorcycle which the manufacturerer either has been unable to or refuses to address. Note that I had previously owned and operated an earlier model of this motorcycle (2017) and had no such problems with it while putting over 20k miles on it.
