MY MOTORCYCLE WILL START AND RUN FOR A WHILE BUT WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHEN THE ENGINE GETS DOWN TO IDLE. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT PERSISTENT AND SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONE DAY, BE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS, AND THEN ARISE AGAIN. WHEN THE BIKE IS RUNNING AND I 'M UP AT SPEED IT RUNS FLAWLESSLY, BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN THE BIKE DOESN'T WANT TO IDLE AND IT WILL DIE WHEN I COME TO A STOP OR IF I KEEP IN THE CLUTCH TOO LONG AND THE RPM DROPS TOO LOW. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME INSTANCES WHERE I'VE COME TO A STOP, NEEDED TO GO ABRUPTLY, AND WASN'T ABLE TO BECAUSE MY BIKE HAD JUST DIED, CREATING A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR ME SINCE I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF DANGER. *TR
