  ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  INTERMITTENT ENGINE POWER LOSS UPON ACCELERATION - IN THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE (5/24/19), THE MOTORCYCLE WAS MOVING FROM A CITY STREET IN NORTH LAS VEGAS (CRAIG ROAD) ONTO I-15 NORTHBOUND. AFTER MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE FROM THE ON-RAMP AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH, THE MOTORCYCLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. THE ENGINE RPM QUICKLY DROPPED FROM AROUND 6000 TO IDLE RPM. INCREASING HAD NO AFFECT AT THIS POINT. THE ENGINE QUIT AFTER I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER AND SLOWED TO A STOP. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AT THIS POINT. THE IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR. NO OTHER FUEL OTHER THAN CHEVRON PREMIUM UNLEADED 91 OCTANE HAS BEEN USED SINCE PURCHASE OF VEHICLE. I'VE INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE INTERMITTENT SHUTOFFS, BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE POSITION CONTROLLER, OR FAULT IN FIRMWARE THAT MONITORS THROTTLE POSITION.
