I AM THE OWNER OF A 2011 TRIUMPH SPRINT GT SPORT TOURING MOTORCYCLE, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW ON 05/21/2011. ON THAT DATE, APPROXIMATELY 85 MILES INTO MY FIRST RIDE, THE BIKE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON DECELERATION, WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY DISENGAGED (LEVER FULLY IN), REQUIRING A RE-START WHILE COASTING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE BIKE DID RE-START, BUT HAS CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY EXHIBIT THIS STALLING ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES (ON EVERY SUBSEQUENT RIDE LASTING MORE THAN ABOUT AN HOUR). ON THAT FIRST RIDE AND THE RETURN RIDE HOME, THE BIKE STALLED AN ADDITIONAL 18 - 20 TIMES IN EXACTLY THIS MANNER: ALWAYS ON DECELERATION, AND WITH NO "LUGGING" OF THE ENGINE (I.E., OPERATING AT TOO-LOW RPM) INVOLVED. I HAVE RETURNED THE BIKE TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES SO FAR, THEY HAVE PERFORMED DIAGNOSTICS, AND THE BIKE DOES NOT THROW ANY FAULT CODES. ON THE FIRST THREE VISITS, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE CONDITION. ON THE FOURTH (CURRENT) RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP -- ALL WITHIN THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP -- THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE CONDITION, AND IS WORKING WITH THE MANUFACTURER TO GO THROUGH A "PROCESS OF ELIMINATION" TO IDENTIFY AND RESOLVE THE ROOT CAUSE(S); HENCE, THE FAILED COMPONENT LISTING HERE INDICATES A RANGE OF POSSIBILITIES OF SYSTEMS THAT APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED. THIS "STALLING ON RETURN TO IDLE" CONDITION HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 40 - 50 TIMES, TWICE OCCASIONING FAIRLY HARROWING "NEAR MISS" SITUATIONS WITH AUTOMOBILES. I HAVE TODAY WRITTEN THE MANUFACTURER (COPYING THE DEALER) TO REQUEST APPROPRIATE & RAPID REDRESS OF THIS UNTENABLE SITUATION, AND HAVE NOTED IN MY CORRESPONDENCE THAT THIS VEHICLE NOW QUALIFIES AS A LEMON UNDER THE LAWS OF BOTH THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA (WHERE I RESIDE) AND THE STATE OF MARYLAND (WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED). THE BIKE IS AGAIN IN THE SHOP, WHERE IT HAS SPENT NEARLY A FULL MONTH OUT OF THE FIRST 3 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP.
