20250807ENGINE

I am submitting a formal complaint regarding a stalling issue with my 2023 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT+. Issue Summary: The motorcycle starts normally when cold. However, once I begin riding and pull in the clutch to stop (such as at a stop sign or traffic light), the engine stalls unexpectedly. The stalling occurs intermittently during this phase and continues until the engine reaches full operating temperature. At that point, the issue no longer occurs. When the engine stalls and I attempt to restart it, it will not restart unless I apply throttle manually. Simply pressing the starter without throttle input results in a no-start condition. Key Observations: Cold Start: Starts up as designed. Initial Riding Phase: Engine stalls when pulling in the clutch to stop. Restart Difficulty: Engine will not restart unless throttle is applied manually. Post Warm-Up: Once at operating temperature, the issue is no longer present. Performance: The motorcycle runs smoothly under load and throttle as
