2013 Triumph Explorer Fuel system

Ecu shuts throttle butterflies and therefore stalls engine with no idle. Very dangerous when rider of the motorcycle is attempting to accelerate. This happens after riding then slowing to stop. The engine just shuts off and must be restarted. I have heard there was a recall to remedy ecu parameters that were too tight. However, the dealer is unable to find anything concerning this nor can they fix it.

The bolt on the shift assembly (threaded from bottom /up) came off. The shift assembly arm came off when in motion and I was unable to change gears. Motorcycle was stuck in gear with no ability to shift.
