Complaints by Component

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

1 complaint

Vehicle stalls. Vehicle is equipped with a DCT which stalls at roadway speed. When decelerating from ~25 mph to 0 mph at traffic, most commonly while coming to a stop for a red light, the motorcycle will stall. The engine turns off. The engine will often refuse to turn back on. Use of the start switch produces a clicking noise and requires several tries to restart motorcycle. The bike then starts in Neutral and needs to be shifted back into Drive, Sport, or a manual mode to return to movement. This is dangerous when it happens in traffic, because cars and trucks that are not paying attention may not notice the motorcycle has stopped. This also happens when idling at a red light or if manually shifting, when shifting into drive to accelerate forward when the light turns to green. Dozens of instances of the behavoir have been observed over the last 6 months (Jan to June, 2025).

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC),SERVICE BRAKES

1 complaint

THE HONDA AT WITH DCT TRANSMISSION: WHEN HITTING THE FRONT BRAKE (RIGHT GRIP) THE RIGHT HAND IS STILL ON THE THROTTLE. A SLIGHT HAND SHIFT WHEN GRABBING THE BRAKE (ESPECIALLY UNDER EMERGENCY BRAKING) WILL CAUSE THE THROTTLE TO ENGAGE FORCING THE BIKE TO LOOSE CONTROL. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. THE THROTTLE SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY DISENGAGE WHEN THE THE FRONT LEVER/BRAKE IS A APPLIED. WITH A CLUTCH OPERATION THIS CAN BE CONTROLLED VIA THE LEFT HAND, BUT WITH THE DCT (AUTOMATIC) THE CLUTCH DOES NOT DISENGAGE. THE REAR BRAKE (RIGHT FOOT) SHOULD BE SETUP NORMALLY, AS IT IS ROUTINELY USED TO MANAGE THE BIKE UNDER SLOW CONDITIONS WITH THROTTLE APPLICATION. THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED TO ME. APPLIED BOTH BRAKES WHICH IS VERY INTUITIVE UNDER DURESS. AS RIGHT HAND WAS GRABBING BRAKE, THE SHIFTING OF THE RIGHT HAND ALSO ENGAGED THE THROTTLE, CAUSING THE BIKE TO LURCH FORWARD IN AN UNANTICIPATED AND UNNATURAL REACTION.
