twice now . . . once approaching a light at very moderate speed; i guess i wanted to make more noise when approaching the light so i decided to downshift into first, not something i normally do as first can be kind of rough. it stalled. i was able to coast into a parking lot and restart the bike fine.
second time, on the freeyway approaching an off ramp. traffic slowed to about 45 mph and i downshifted from third into second, again, probably to let cars around me know i was there, but nothing too agressive or out of the ordinary. stalled on freeway. was able to restart right away while rolling about 20 mph.
called my local dealer where i bought the bike (still under warranty). tech guy had not heard anything like this. the only thing that i noticed different about bike is that i tend to notice more noise in the lower gears, especially second and first . . . i've heard some odd rattling sounds before, when slowly shifting out or into first or second and i do get a few false neutrals (or rather false first gears— bike should be in gear but rolls like its in neutral) etc. i attributed this sound to ducati's design and i figured that i needed to be a bit more aggressive when shifting, popping it into gear rather than lightly shifting (this is pretty standard on most bike, especailly harleys . . . ).
anyone else experienced this? taking bike in for a looksee next week.
