"2016 HONDA CBR 300 RECALL" I BOUGHT A 2016 HONDA CBR 300 ABS MOTORCYCLE BRAND NEW WITH 2 MILES ON THE MOTORCYCLE ON AUGUST 8, 2017. ON AUGUST 12, 2017 I DECIDED TO RIDE MY MOTORCYCLE TO ANTIOCH AND UPON RETURNING HOME FROM ANTIOCH, THE MOTORCYCLE CUT OFF, WHILE I WAS IN A TURN. THE BIKE DIED AND CAUSED ME TO SKID ON MY LEFT SIDE, SLAMMING INTO THE GRAVEL, AND SLIDING 15 YARDS ON MY SHOULDER AS WELL AS HEAD. I WAS WEARING PROTECTIVE HEAD WEAR, SO I HAD NO HEAD TRAUMA, HOWEVER IN ATTEMPT TO BRACE MY FALL I PUT DOWN MY LEFT HAND. LEFT HAND WAS ROAD RASH. I CONTACTED CONTRA COSTA POWERSPORTS AND THEY CAME TO ANTIOCH TO PICK UP THE BIKE, SO I DO NOT HAVE PHOTOS OF MY BIKE. CONTRA COSTA POWERSPORTS TOLD ME THEY WERE GOING TO EXAMINE WHAT HAPPENED, AS WELL AS REPLACE EVERYTHING THAT WAS DAMAGED. WITH CONCERN, I TYPED IN RECALLS ON 2016 HONDA CBR 300 IN GOOGLE SEARCH, AND DISCOVERED A RECALL FOR MY BIKE DATING BACK TO JULY 8, 2016....

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 2016 Honda Cb300f verdict →
