THE BIKE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION. FEELS LIKE THE KILL SWITCH HAS BEEN USED BUT IT HAS NOT. NO PATTERN TO SPEED, GEAR, OR ANYTHING ELSE. ALL POWER IS GONE BUT IF YOU TURN THE KEY OFF AND BACK ON IT WILL START AND KEEP GOING UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS ON THE FREEWAY. TURNING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, IN ANY GEAR, AT ANY RPM. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR AND DEALERS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO.
