 Description of the problemJuly 3, 2015 - it stalled twice while sitting completely stopped at stop signs with the clutch fully pulled in. It idled low and then completely died. Restarting the bike, i was able to get it moving with quite a bit of leaping and lagging and the engine sputtering. Once up and through 1st and 2nd gear (sputtering like if was missing fuel) it seemed to suddenly engage and was ok. I compensated for the lagging, but it kept jumping as if suddenly catching without pressure on the throttle increasing. It did this mostly at lower speeds at first, but also leaps when at higher speeds (45-55mph) on rural roads - again, jumping into the higher speed suddenly and without an increase on the throttle. On july 18, 2015, the bike jumped while taking a turn from one street onto another, startling me and causing me to veer from my lane and left of center, nearly taking me off the road as it continued to jump and sputter. I corrected my position and marked it up to the bike still needing to be "broken in". July 31, 2015 - while normal shifting and increasing speeds to match the speed limit, my bike accelerated to a of 40mph before jumping, the engine light briefly flickering on and then off a few times, and losing throttle power. I turned the bike off and checked the clutch, oil, and indicators before restarting, revving the engine and reentering the roadway. The engine light did not come back on prior to reentering. Once on the road and back up to 40mph, the bike jumped again, engine light flickered of and on 4 times and remained off. Return trip was similar.
