THIRD GEAR IS MAKING NOISE. *TR
MOTORCYCLE PERIODICALLY STALLS WHEN STOPPING. RPM DROPS OFF, DOES NOT COME BACK UP AND BIKE STALLS. SOMETIMES WILL RESTART IMMEDIATELY. OTHER TIMES IT IS NECESSARY TO TURN KEY OFF AND BACK ON. STALLING INCIDENTS ARE SPORATIC AND IT MAY GO MONTHS WITHOUT RECURRING, OR IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN IMMEDIATELY. ON WEB FORUM, MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME OCCURANCES WITH NO ONE CONSISTANT AND TRACKABLE CAUSE. MY LATEST OCCURANCE WAS 7/9/11. *TT

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
