THE ENGINE ON MY BRAND NEW CBR945RR MOTORCYCLE DIED WHILE TRAVELLING ON THE INTERSTATE NEARLY CAUSING A VERY CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. I WAS THROWN FORWARD AND IT WAS NECESSARY TO IMMEDIATELY SQUEEZE THE CLUTCH IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE MOTORCYCLE TO COAST. IT WAS THEN NECESSARY TO RESTART THE ENGINE (THANKFULLY IT DID RESTART), DOWN SHIFT, AND LET THE CLUTCH BACK OUT IN ORDER AVOID THE CARS THAT WERE QUICKLY COMING ON ME DUE TO THE VIOLENT AND RAPID DECELERATION OF MY NEW MOTORCYCLE. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN THE LEFT LANE, DIRECTLY BESIDE A TRACTOR TRAILER. IT HAS HAPPENED ON MANY OTHER DOCUMENTED OCCASIONS WHEN THE BIKE IS DRIVEN OVER BUMPS OR DIPS IN THE ROAD. I HAVE LOST ALL MENTAL SECURITY IN THE TRUSTWORTHINESS OF MOTORCYCLE ITS FUTURE, AND ULTIMATE ENGINE LIFE.*AK
