FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

since around 550 miles(motorcycle now has 637 miles) my motorcycle has been intermittently stalling while pulling in clutch to downshift. i let off of throttle, pull in clutch to downshift and the engine will shut off. this has happened while going anywhere from 45-60 miles an hour. this machine will also stall on first start 99% of the time and has been getting worse. seems the stalling issues are related, because the stalling while riding did not happen until the stalling on start up started first. dealership/mechanic tells me that honda has no fix for this issue and doesn't even acknowledge this as an issue. even though, honda has known about this stalling problem, since 2011 when some of those owners first started to complain. currently i have had my bike into the dealership twice now with no resolve. i have video proof of the engine stalling on start up, but apparently this is not good enough.

ENGINE

i was going at about 30mph in moderate traffic on my motorcycle, and had to use the friction zone on the clutch a lot. occasionally, when i disengage the clutch all the way, and also close the throttle (to not give the motorcycle any additional gas), the engine will cut off and die completey. usually, with clutch disengaged and gas off, it would idle at 1500rpm and the motorcycle would continue to roll. however, the engine died (0rpm, twisting throttle doesn't do anything), and it would not start up quickly enough. since i stopped going going forward because the engine would not start, i was rear ended by a car, but it was not too serious of an injury. my honda cbr250r has done this a lot of times, though usually i would be able to start the engine quickly enough by pressing the start switch again. however, it is defective since the engine dies randomly if i disengage the clutch and allow the engine to idle.

basically when you downshift on the bike no matter what speed or gear it will just shut off even when the clutch is pulled in. it doesn't do it every time but it will happen at least once every time i ride.
