Vehi me will sometimes stall during idle while standing still. Sometimes vehicle vehicle would fail to start creating a hazard when I'm in traffic. Other times when fuelling or taking a break I shut vehicle off. When I come back vehicle refuse to start by only making a clicking sound. This happen so randomly that they bike could be park for a day or two and don't start and and then bike would later start at it own leisure. Battery was change and nothing. Took the bike to dealership since it still under warranty and nothing. Most recently bike was fully charge with a charger and it only made a clicking sound like click click click
