Motorcycle was already part of the recall for the shifting to neutral issue. This motorcycle has shifted itself to neutral twice after coming to a stop. Each time I attempted to accelerate after the traffic light became green and was unable to move as I was unaware it was in neutral. I was riding in sport mode with the transmission in automatic mode.
