While riding my Honda CTX 700 DCT, I lost all engine power, on two occasions. The second was after the Honda Certified Dealer said they repaired it. The first incident was while city riding at 25MPH, and the second was during dense highway traffic at 60MPH. I was barely able to safely pull to the side of the road on momentum alone. If the cars around me were any less attentive, I could have been struck, causing injury or death. I have received conflicting information from both the dealer, and Honda Corporate. They claim that the fault was a computer issue caused by too much oil, or a loose cable. But they had addressed those issues the first time, and it did the same exact thing again. The manufacturer has refused to inspect the bike, but instead is relying on their locally contracted repair facility for information. There was absolutely NO warning prior to either failure. The bike is currently at Brothers Powersports in Bremerton, WA., and may be inspected at your convivence.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2014 Honda Ctx700 verdict →
