I tried searching on this, but my Google Fu might just be nonexistent, as I couldn't find any other reports of quite this issue...
I have been having trouble with my '14 ES stalling on clutch squeeze. I will be riding at moderate speed, squeeze the clutch and start downshifting/braking for something - a turn, a light, whatever - and the engine just shuts off. I have watched as it happens, and it seems like the rpm simply drops right through idle to none. I had the same issue with my 07 R6 and it put me into a guardrail when I let the clutch out + gave it gas and it screamed back to life, and that was with about 5 years licensed experience at the time. I know they both have the fly by wire throttle, but that's about it. Never did figure out the R6, and that's after a lot of work thrown at it including TPS, CPS, plugs, wires, reflash, air system work, exhaust work, new throttle and more. I'm really nervous that I'm going to have to give up a bike that I have fallen in love with just because an old demon came back to play.
Has anyone else seen this on their Tenner? Not the stall on takeoff though I did that a few times too, usually when riding off the center stand and not giving it any gas - translation: loose steering nut (or would that be riding nut?). But has anyone else been cruising down the road (40-60 for me) and engaged the clutch, only to have the bike die? If so, did you fix it? How?
