WHEN THE ENGINE ON MY 2017 HARLEY DAVIDSON TRIGLIDE GETS HOT, IT WILL STALL WHEN I COME TO STOP. THIS ISSUE BEGAN AFTER 5000 MILES, AND I'VE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 2 TIMES, BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. MY TRIKE STILL HAS ONLY HD STOCK PARTS. IT ALSO WILL NOT START IN GEAR WITH THE CLUTCH ENGAGED, WHICH CAUSES A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT STALLS, AS I MUST TRY TO GET IT IN NEUTRAL BEFORE I CAN RESTART IT. LAST YEAR, IT STALLED WITH THE CLUTCH ENGAGED, IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION, ON A HOLIDAY WEEKEND. I HAD TO TRY TO GET IT IN NEUTRAL BEFORE I COULD RESTART IT. FORTUNATELY, TRAFFIC WAITED FOR ME TO MOVE. I UNDERSTAND HARLEY DAVIDSON IS AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE 2017 TRIKE, BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL TO FIX IT YET.

TRIKE CONSTANTLY STALLS WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP, AND HAVE TO APPLY BRAKES BOTH AT SAME TIME OR JUST FRONT OR REAR IT APPEARS AS INTERMITTENT AT TIMES. SAFETY HAZARD HAVING TO COMPLETELY STOP IN AN INTERSECTION WHEN STALLED, INSTEAD OF JUST DISENGAGING CLUTCH AND COASTING TO START AS OLDER BIKES/ TRIKES.
