Example complaints

Fuel system: “The motorcycle has a hesitation or stalling issue were at low speeds it will hesitate to the point were you have no responses so you roll on the throttle to see if you can get it to react then the bike will catch back up and then surges forward very quickly. It has happened numerous time on me and I have had it to the dealer to have it checked and was told they could not duplicate the issue. It did it to me as I rode the bike out of their parking lot.”

NHTSA complaint #10512486, filed 2013-05, 200 miles

Brakes: “My bike was brought into my local Honda dealership in november 2015 for rear brake recall service. My bike was operating fine prior to the recall work being done. In july 1, 2016 after not ridden my bike during the winter months my rear brake locked up on me as I was on the highway - I was almost rear ended because the bike immediately started to slow down when I depressed my clutch; since my I didn't have a chance to use my brakes lever that would have triggered my rear brake lights to illuminate a car almost rear ended me! …”

NHTSA complaint #10893351, filed 2016-08, 10,750 miles

Engine: “After starting engine, 1st gear engagement, release clutch and feed throttle. Motorcycle will stall when in motion between 1-10 MPH forcing you to engage clutch lever and then twist throttle to try and get engine to rev back up. Hopefully this will happen and you will not fall over due to lack of power from stall. This happens usually when engine temp is in the lower range but can also happen when engine is warm but you have stopped for 10-20 minutes and then you try to start off again. This is totally dangerous especially with a 900 lb. Motorcycle. …”
