This is strange.

Back from the shop after the second time for the same problem. All weekend no problem.

Monday, stalled and died twice on the way to work. Again couldn't restart after second stall.

Looks like a lemon.

I doubt it's a lemon—more likely there's something fixable wrong with it, they just haven't found it yet. It sucks that it has to go back to the dealer, though.

Interesting that this happens at full throttle. Don't know what it could be, but for your sake and my curiosity, I hope the dealer gets it sorted out this time.

This sucks, so were you late for work again? It still sounds like an electrical problem to me. Good luck and sorry to hear about your misfortune. Nobody wants to go through what your dealing with dude.
Have you been using the roadside warranty service? Good luck brah!!!

I've been following this post. This sounds exactly like what's been happening to my Rattler. The third time it died it stayed dead.

I'm going through the usual checks: spark, fuel, compression.
It has me stumped. Hopefully I'll have some time to work on it this weekend.

Right now, it's just too nice outside to not go riding....

You can't get it to a dealer? It's probably a warranty issue...
Too far?

Warranty isn't valid. It's Genuine and Scooterville's "guinea pig" bike (the first one with the Malossi kit). When I won it, I was told "no warranty".

Gonna have to figure it out myself, which is why I have been watching for posts from others with the same problem.
