THEN AFTER MOVING OFF TO MY FIRST STOP (INTERSECTION ,LIGHT ETC.) IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. ONCE MOTORCYCLE WAS FULLY WARMED UP IT WOULDN'T STALL AS MUCH. I TOOK THE MOTORCYCLE TO DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND THEY RESET THE TPS(THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR) AND RAISED THE IDLE. THE BIKE WOULD STILL STALL OUT ESPECIALLY THE WARMER THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS. I BROUGHT BIKE BACK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE OXYGEN SENSOR AND OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR. THE BIKE STILL STALLS . IT SEEMS TO STALL MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN IT IS WARM OUT. T
