Bike shut off on me.

[Dieselrob]

1200+ trouble free miles from brand new.

I was in 2nd gear trying to catch a green from a notorious long light, did a medium pull in 2nd gear, traffic started to stop up a head pretty abruptly. I had to use medium application of the brakes, nothing crazy. I was down to 20 mph, and figured I could do what I always do, rev up and keep on trucking in 2nd gear ( similar to rolling up on a light, it turns green before you stop and so you keep rolling in 2nd) The bike did not like this, didn't even rev, just made the same sound as if you turned the key off on the bike. I still had power to the dash etc, coasted to a safe spot, started right back up.

Any ideas? Did I hit a quirk in the electronic throttle?

A few people, myself included, have had some idling/stalling issues. do a search and I am sure you will find something. Mine started about 8k miles in. and stopped around 10k miles and hasnt happened again since. Cant tell you what is was or how to fix it, but there are some others who have had similar issues.

Same. At 14k kms now and hasn't happened for a while. Only a few times anyway.

Stalling issue has come up in the past, it seems to be extremely random, it happened to me on my 14 ES. Same kind of deal, restarted no problem.

Appreciate it guys, as long as it's nothing serious, going to keep on riding.

It's a growing pain and it'll pass. Mine stalled horribly for a spell and hasn't since 8k miles.

I have a brand new 14 ES with less than 300 miles on it. She's clunked out on me several times at stop signs/lights when I rev it a bit with the clutch lever pulled in. I've noticed that this only happens in Tour Mode. Fortunately, she starts right away and off we go. I'll bring this up with the dealer when I take it in for the 600 mile break-in service. I'll post anything noteworthy from the tech.

Question: I'm coming off of ten years of riding an FJR. On this new S10 I've noticed that I really have to roll on the throttle to get the bike moving from a stop position (subjective, I know). Curious if this is normal and I just need to get used to it? Thanks.

I've had no power delivery issue like the one you speak of, but like you have had considerable (up to 18 in a day) stalls. Certainly annoying, but it will pass. I never blip the throttle in neutral, but had experienced most of the stalls during more rapid than typical decels. Sparked right back up as yours. You can rap your gourd on the wall about this or read around on here and learn that it's a transient condition synonymous with break-in for some/many. Ride through it and it'll be gone before you know it.
