WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING 55 MPH I LET OFF OF THE THROTTLE TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE ENTERING A SLOWER SPEED AREA AND THE BIKE TURNED OFF. THE BIKE WILL NOT IDLE WITHOUT HAVING THE THROTTLE ON. I HAD TO KEEP THE THROTTLE ON FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY TRIP OR THE BIKE WILL IMMEDIATELY DROP IN RPMS AND TURN OFF.
