Filed Jul 27, 2018 · Fuel system · 21,000 miles · AL

Ecu shuts throttle butterflies and therefore stalls engine with no idle. Very dangerous when rider of the motorcycle is attempting to accelerate. This happens after riding then slowing to stop. The engine just shuts off and must be restarted. I have heard there was a recall to remedy ecu parameters that were too tight. However, the dealer is unable to find anything concerning this nor can they fix it.
