2020 Honda CRF1100D4 Fuel system Problems

“On multiple occasions, the engine cut out. Several times while I open the throttle all the way quickly to pass on a two lane highway. Several times when I'm cruising down the highway at 70 MPH, it just started missing. Very dangerous when your speed goes from 70 to 40 in seconds on the freeway.”

“Bike would not accelerate if I twisted the throttle. I was in the process of overtaking another vehicle when doing this. Bike started bogging down once it hit 75mph. I had to eventually slow down and get behind the vehicle as I was unable to sufficient speed to overtake it.”

“Vehicle was in motion on an interstate highway at approximately 70 miles an hour, in traffic, when engine suddenly stopped receiving adequate fuel. Revs were limited to 4k and incoming traffic behind me nearly caused a collision, due to my sudden loss of speed without brake lights. Upon taking to shop, a white paste-like substance was found covering some of the key welds inside the gas tank. This substance flakes off and clogs the fuel filter. In my case, this happened within the first 4,000 miles. …”

“Improper fuel tank welds plugged the fuel filter with debris. Discovered the zinc flakes upon inspection of the fuel tank. 425 miles on the motorcycle and less than 10 gallons of gas through the tank. Unlike automobiles, when a motorcycle fuel system is compromised, a loss of power can be catastrophic to the rider. Unwilling to risk my safety, including death, I was proactive in my investigation of this owner and dealer known issue, and started my own maintenance plan to prevent an unintentional dangerous loss of power, which might occur on the interstate highway system at 70 MPH. …”

“The vehicle will stop accelerating on an incline, very dangerous while trying to pass slower moving vehicles in the mountains. The issue would take place between speeds of 25mph-70mph. The motorcycle will kill someone in the wrong situation. Please help to stop the manufacturer from placing unsatisfactory vehicles on the road.”
