Motorcycle is 2 weeks old / 1,900 miles total: the motorcycle has been stalling under certain specific conditions. once the engine is warm, and i attempt to downshift multiple gears at a time, the bike may stall while the clutch is pulled in. as an example, i may be riding in 6th gear and will slow using my brakes only (not engine braking). i will close the throttle completely, clutch in, and then downshift to 5th, 4th, 3rd sequentially without releasing the clutch between gears. there will be a pop coming from under the seat, and the bike will stall. suzuki has been contacted and denies this is a warranty problem or a danger, stating it is an owner maintenance concern only.  view
