[QUOTE="TXFJR, post: 883400, member: 27507"] I have searched all the forums, and read all about the "spider" issues of the older Gen 2s. I have a 2011 with less than 400 miles, and I have experienced the following problem: While coming to a stop (rolling at less than 30 mph) as I am downshifting, the bike has died on at least 10 separate times. Usually, it's when I shift down into 3rd or 2nd (from 30-20 mph) and it seems to happen as I am letting go of the clutch. The panel/gauges stay on, I just hear the engine die, just like if I had hit the kill button. The most recent time, it did it as I was exiting the freeway after a 6-8 mile trip, and I was slowing down for the intersection after the off ramp. Other times is during normal city light-to-light traffic, but always as I am coming to a stop. It has happened when the bike is just barely warmed up, and when it's at full operating temperature. The first time it happened, it was when I was bringing the bike home, with less than 50 miles on the odometer, I just wrote that one off as a fluke. However, it has continued to happen, but since it's intermitent, I don't know if the dealer will be able to figure it out. There are no recalls on the 2011 (that I know of), has anyone else experienced this on a 2011? Any ideas as to where I should start to troubleshoot it? The bike starts right up after it dies, but I am afraid this may happen at a REALLY bad time, or that it will just not start again. [/QUOTE]
