DURING HEAVY RAIN AFTER CRUISING AT HIGHWAYS SPEED, ANYTIME THE CLUTCH IS DISENGAGED TO SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP THE ENGINE WILL STALL. THE BIKE IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. AT TIMES IT WILL NOT RESTART, OR WILL IMMEDIATELY STALL AGAIN UNLESS THE THROTTLE IS HELD OPEN. IT ALSO SPUTTERS AND MISFIRES WHEN IT DOES RESTART. STARTING AND STOPPING IS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT AND JERKY DUE TO A SURGING AND JERKINESS, AND THE BIKES IDLE (WHEN IT DOES IDLE) IS VERY JUMPY. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER HEAVY RAIN AND AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER ONCE AT AROUND 3800 MILES WHERE THEY REPROGRAMMED THE ECU, BUT THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. *TR
