Bike does not start properly. Often it takes several tries, but if it does start and I attempt to drive away in the time normal frame any other bike I have owned, it will stall potentially, not allow me to quickly restart and I could have traffic coming from behind me putting me at risk. It has also failed to start a few times requiring a tow, not safety related I know, but for a brand new bike in 2021, something is not right. Finally this is a 2021 890 Adventure, not the 790 that was displayed when I entered the VIN
