 In may of 2006 i purchased a new harley davidson 883r sportster. since the first day the vehicle has had an ongoing back fire that the dealership cannot or is not able to correct. the back firing issue occurs when throttling off of idle. on occasion, the back fire will cause the engine to stall and stop running. this has occurred regularly and in one instance the dead engine caused me to be stopped at a busy traffic light controlled intersection with traffic bearing down on me and my stopped vehicle. i was fortunate enough to have the wit to engage the starter, start the vehicle and avoid a rear end collision which surely would have resulted in injury or death. i have taken the vehicle to two different dealerships on three different occasions and have been told they all do it. if this is the case, the longer the manufacturer, harley davidson, ignores the problem the outcome of such an event will surely be bodily injury to some degree. *jb
