Improper fuel tank inner coating causing debris to get into fuel system and cause stalling at high speeds
Pervasive known issue occurred wherein motorcycle stalls while riding and power is removed/throttle closed. Motorcycle also stalls while at stop lights. This is a safety concern as motorcycle can stall inexplicably while under way and in corners where engine power is needed to exit the corner leading user to restart engine while underway.
Intermittently the motorcycle will stall when riding if the clutch is engaged.

There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. This started after six months after I purchased the motorcycle. This is after the first scheduled maintenance.
After riding the bike for 30 minutes or more the bike stalls at every stop sign and red light I would guess that the idle or throttle position sensor needs adjustment or re map computer to adjust fuel air mixture after initial start up. Very dangerous in my opinion since I have issue restarting the bike at stop lights or stop signs with other vehicles assuming I should be moving but not
