The motorcycle stalled several times in traffic, when the clutch was engaged. This happened several times since but the engine always restarts immediately.

Just purchased the ninja 300 with 2 miles on it, first 2 weeks was fine, until I started to take it to work. Every time I would leave from work my motorcycle will stall at every stop light/sign until I hit the freeway (basically any time I pulled in the clutch to slow down). After I get off the freeway the motorcycle seems to be fine. I thought maybe it was because I had to do the first service, this is my first bike so I did not know better, when I took it in for the break in service I let them know of the problem, they told me the RPM's might just be a little low and they would raise idle. I got it back took it to work and the problem was still there. Only seems to happen in the afternoon when the sun is out, it has never happened to me in the mornings.

When slowing down from almost any speed , as you down shift the gears the bike will die completely, thus forcing me to stop and restart the bike, even in highway occurrences . Steering bearings are faulty after only 100 miles and almost through me off the bike in multiple turns.

I was riding the motorcycle on a public street. A vehicle was approaching me on a narrow road, when I downshifted from 6th gear to 5th gear to slow down, my motorcycle's engine stalled out. I purchased the motorcycle new from the dealer with only 5 miles on the odometer. Since I've owned the bike (purchased on 07/17/2013) the engine has stalled when engine breaking or downshifting several times now, with the most recent occurrence's happening on 07/25/2013.

The bike shuts off as soon as you pull in the clutch to start braking. It has done this numerous times since I bought it brand new with 0 miles. I have owned my bike for about 3 months and have just done the first maintanance at kawasaki dealer. At first I thought it was because the bike was cold but even after a 10 minute warm up the bike will shut off almost at every stoplight/stop sign when I pull in the clutch unless I constantly rev it to a complete stop.

I have found that during approximately the first 10 min you are riding the bike, if you are above 3500 RPM and pull in the clutch and coast for an extended period of time the vehicle will stall. I have learned to watch for the stall but it will still catch you off guard on occasion when you let go of the clutch and want to go and the bike lurches and throws off your balance. Especially in a turn!!!
