THE PROBLEM I AM ABOUT TO DESCRIBE HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE MOTORCYCLE WAS NEW. HOWEVER, DUE TO RESEARCH, I AM ONLY NOW ABLE TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. ON HOT DAYS, WHEN THE MOTORCYCLE IS PARKED OUTSIDE, AFTER STARTING, IT STUMBLES AND CUTS OUT DURING ACCELERATION. THE LAST INCIDENT (WHICH I AM NOW REPORTING ON) ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET HIT IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THE MOTORCYCLE DIED ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN. A VEHICLE AT THE ADJACENT STOP SIGN ALMOST HIT ME WHEN I STALLED OUT. THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE POINTS TO THE EMISSION CONTROL CHARCOAL CANISTER AS BEING THE PROBLEM. ONCE IT BECOMES SATURATED, IT EFFECTS THE INTAKE, AND THEN CAUSES STUMBLING AND CUTTING OUT. IF THE MOTORCYCLE CAN BE RIDDEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE CANISTER CLEARS AND THE MOTORCYCLE OPERATES IN A NORMAL MANNER. HOWEVER, A DANGEROUS SITUATION EXISTS PRIOR TO ITS CLEARING. *TR
