RX3 Stalled
EDIT: So far this appears to be a one time occurrence.
I have read about other RX3 stalling problems, and hoped it would be fixed by now. It is not. On my first 50 mile ride, I had to make a quick stop for a traffic light. Let off the throttle and applied the brakes hard. I stopped in time for the light, but the engine stalled. The engine restarted after 3 or 4 cranks. When the light changed, I started off, but the bike stalled again...in the middle of the intersection. It would not quickly restart, and I had to push the bike through the intersection (with cars zooming around me) and to the side of the road. The engine finally started after another 3-4 cranks. There were no further incidents the rest of the trip. This would not be a problem out on a trail.... ...but in traffic, this could have gotten me killed. None of my other, or previous bikes, have done this. Hope there is not another occurrence. jb
