Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was riding at 65mph when the motorcycle started sputtering and losing power and speed. i just made it to the side of the road. it would not restert. i hauled to my dealer. two days later, when he checked it out it started and ran normally. i have read of this happening to other st riders. it can be intermittent as it would appear in my case since it's now getting fuel. this intermittent auto shoff malfunction has been described before. as a result of information i had, the dealer is replacing the auto fuel shutoff valve under warrenty. i believe the part # is 16970-mt-000. losing power due to fuel starvation in heavy traffic is a real safety hazzard. if this part failure is as common as it appears then a manufaturing defect is suggested.
