THE MOTORCYCLE STALLS VERY OFTEN MOST PROMINENTLY WHEN BRAKING AGGRESSIVELY AND PULLING IN THE CLUTCH TO STOP. THE BIKE WILL ALSO SOMETIMES STALL RANDOMLY WHEN OPERATING AT ENGINE SPEEDS BELOW 3,000 RPM. THE THROTTLE RESPONSE IS ALSO EXTREMELY JERKY BELOW 4,000 RPM LIKE AN ON/OFF SWITCH MAKING THE MOTORCYCLE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO RIDE. I HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH 2008 KTM 690 SMC AND IN NEARLY A DECADE, THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. UNACCEPTABLE.
