 The motorcycle i purchased was a safety hazard, the engine inadvertently stalling when riding. i thought it was maybe fuel related. after grappling with this situation for 2000 miles, the dealership said it was a bad electrical harness. i refused to ride the motorcycle anymore and relinquished to hd. it was a 2007 harley davidson 1200 sportster roadster.
