And there's a massive difference between 'cut-out' and 'seize'

What make/model are we talking about here ?

If you fall off a motorbike purely because it stalled, you are not fit to be riding one.

Ever ridden a motorbike?

As a experienced rider you will be surprised how easy a unexpected stall can cause you to fall off.
You put your foot down and it slips a bit, bike is top heavy and you have no way of holding it up.

So perhaps you need to stick to helpfull comments that will help and not poke fun....:mad:

Grew up in the 70s when most (British)bikes tended to stall all over the place. Did a little bit of club racing as well. I now have a 60 year old "historic" bike which again tends to cut out unexpectedly. Guess you just get used to it and learn to control it.

was a advanced rider and I had the unfortunate experience of stalling a Yamaha FJ1200 on a tight corner.
Down she went because I could not power out

OP says only stalling at low speed though.
