Example complaints

Electrical system: “My Honda africa twin DCT stalls at low speed. It happened twice. When I about to move forward from the stop sign, the bike stalls itself. It is very dangerous for a motorcycle.”

NHTSA complaint #11473920, filed 2022-07

Engine: “Random engine stalls and engine dying under acceleration. Most often happens when leaving from a stop at intersections. The engine either immediately dying out before any forward movement or dying out a second later leaving me in a hazardous position in the middle of the intersection. I bought the bike new June 22, 2021 and to date May 26, 2022 this stall has occurred 8 times in 5440 miles; the first stall occurred at 1850 miles 2 months new. Note: this is the DCT version motorcycle so there is not clutch or gear shift lever to erroneously manipulate. …”

Transmission and drivetrain: “Have experienced myself that this motorcycle, which utilizes a DCT clutchless system for gear changes, is prone to stalls when taking off from a stop at low throttle inputs. A benefit of the DCT system is it's purported not to stall. This is very different than the fuel tank / filter issue which resulted in a recall of 2020 models, that affected bikes at high speed. I have spoken to several owners of the same bike all experienced the same. We discuss frequently on an owner's forum. An online poll shows 45% of owners have experienced it. …”
