While traveling at 45mph in traffic engine shuts off causing bike to decelerate rapidly almost getting rear ended. I have read many post of this same thing happening with others.

Bike will Stall occasional from a stop while trying to accelerate under light throttle. Just had a stall in heavy traffic waiting on a light to turn left off The Las Vegas Strip.. not cool, don't think its a DTC issue I think its the engine mapping, funny thing is when I had started the bike while I suited up it stalled while idling just 5 min before. I always ride S3/Urban in the city. Had a stall a few weeks back after a long highway ride in S3/Tour, same deal, waiting for a light to turn left. Just over 3200 Miles on it. Have had 4 stalls total.

BRAND NEW BIKE WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE HUNDRED MILES I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING "FLAME OUT" ISSUES ON THE BIKE. INTERMITTENTLY IF THE THROTTLE IS BLIPPED ON A DOWN SHIFT TO REV MATCH THE ENGINE IT WILL STALL OUT OR "FLAME OUT" THIS IS TYPICALLY WHILE RIDING DOWN THE STREET. PULL THE CLUTCH IN, DOWN SHIFT AND BLIP THE THROTTLE TO REV MATCH AND SOMETIMES IT STALLS OUT. I CAN ALSO GET THIS TO HAPPEN SITTING IN NEUTRAL BY REVVING THE BIKE. AS OF 2,000 MILES THE BIKE NOW HAS NO POWER NO MATTER HOW MUCH THROTTLE I GIVE IT. MY DEALER HAD HONDA REP COME LOOK AT IT AND HE WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUES TWICE IN THE SHOP. HE ALSO STATED HE BELIEVED THE INSIDE OF THE TANK WAS FLAKING. HONDAS SOLUTION IS TO CLEAN THE TANK AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP I AM WAITING FOR THE DEALER TO GET THE PARTS IN FOR REPAIR. I HAVE READ OF MANY MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND WANTED TO REPORT MINE. VERY VERY VERY FRUSTRATING THIS IS HAPPENING AFTER SPENDING ALMOST 20K ON A BRAND NEW BIKE. *TR

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 2020 Honda Crf1100a verdict →
