AS I EXITED THE FREEWAY, I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT AND THE ROADSTER JUST SHUT OFF AND THE BIKE SEIZED. HAD I NOT QUICKLY PRESSED THE CLUTCH I WOULD'VE LOST CONTROL. THEN THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND THE SECURITY LIGHTS TURNED ON. I TRIED TO TURN THE MOTORCYCLE ON AND IT WAS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING. IT FINALLY STARTED BUT AS SOON AS I WOULD THROTTLE THE ACCELERATOR THE MOTORCYCLE WOULD SHUT OFF. THE BIKE CONTINUED TO HAVE THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON. WHEN I DID TURN THE MOTORCYCLE ON IT WOULD STALL VIOLENTLY AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE MOTORCYCLE HAS BEEN SERVICED AND HAD BRAND NEW GAS AS WELL AS A NEW BATTERY. I AM HAVING THE MOTORCYCLE INSPECTED BY HARLEY BUT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WITH THIS SAME MOTORCYCLE.
