Narrative

This motorcycle has had a history of stalling while riding, this issue has persisted through two "repairs" that the dealership deemed safe. It stalled on the way back from retrieving the motorcycle from the supposed repair and put me in a life threatening scenario when the motorcycle stalled in traffic in front of a diesel in a construction zone without any available shoulders. The error that displays on the motorcycle is a yellow "Fault in engine" error that forces me hold in the clutch to turn off the motorcycle, go to first gear, turn the motorcycle back on start the engine then immediately give the motorcycle throttle. Doing so all while rolling to a stop in the middle of highway traffic. This has caused me to injure my leg due to the extremely fast nature of attempting to start a stalling motorcycle on a busy highway. This issue first appeared 2 years ago and it has persisted through all "repairs" from the dealership of the motorcycle brand specially.
