2012 Honda CBR250R

THE PART THAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM IS A KNOWN SOFTWARE PROBLEM ON THE BIKE AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE BIKE IS STALLING AND CUTTING POWER WHILE I AM RIDING OR AT A STOP, IT SEEMS TO BE RANDOM. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I RIDE, HOWEVER, AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE OTHER NIGHT MY BIKE JUST SHUT OFF WHILE CARS WERE FOLLOWING ME AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND I WAS NEARLY HIT. THIS CAUSED THE OTHER MOTORISTS TO BECOME ANGRY WITH ME AND NEARLY PUT ME IN A TERRIBLE SCENARIO. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG CBR250 OWNERS AND IT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY HONDA. THERE ARE A TON OF VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER RIDERS AND YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW DANGEROUS IT IS. THE MOTORCYCLE ONLY HAS 2K MILES ON IT AND I HAVE CHECKED ALL FLUID LEVELS SO I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING TROUBLES. AGAIN, IT IS HAPPENING FAR TOO OFTEN, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES IN A SINGLE 10 MILE TRIP. IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO RIDE THE BIKE, WHICH IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AT THE MOMENT. HONDA SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT AND SUES THEM OR, EVEN WORSE, LOSES THEIR LIFE. IT SHOULD BE EASY ENOUGH FOR HONDA TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, AS THIS IS SUCH A POPULAR BIKE. IF THEY DO NOT, THEN THEY WILL HAVE TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES AS SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

MOTORCYCLE WILL STALL INADVERTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. THIS WEEK, IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE. SEVERAL TIMES THE WEEK BEFORE AND I DOUBT I AM THE ONLY PERSON EXPERIENCING THIS BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON YOUTUBE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=R51AHFOFVOK MY STALLING IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE VIDEO ABOVE. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND CAN POSSIBLY BE DEADLY.

I WAS GOING AT ABOUT 30MPH IN MODERATE TRAFFIC ON MY MOTORCYCLE, AND HAD TO USE THE FRICTION ZONE ON THE CLUTCH A LOT. OCCASIONALLY, WHEN I DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH ALL THE WAY, AND ALSO CLOSE THE THROTTLE (TO NOT GIVE THE MOTORCYCLE ANY ADDITIONAL GAS), THE ENGINE WILL CUT OFF AND DIE COMPLETED. USUALLY, WITH CLUTCH DISENGAGED AND GAS OFF, IT WOULD IDLE AT 1500RPM AND THE MOTORCYCLE WOULD CONTINUE TO ROLL. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE DIED (0RPM, TWISTING THROTTLE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING), AND IT WOULD NOT START UP QUICKLY ENOUGH. SINCE I STOPPED GOING FORWARD BECAUSE THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START, I WAS REAR-ENDED BY A CAR, BUT IT WAS NOT TOO SERIOUS OF AN INJURY. MY HONDA CBR250R HAS DONE THIS A LOT OF TIMES, THOUGH USUALLY I WOULD BE ABLE TO START THE ENGINE QUICKLY ENOUGH BY PRESSING THE START SWITCH AGAIN. HOWEVER, IT IS DEFECTIVE SINCE THE ENGINE DIES RANDOMLY IF I DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH AND ALLOW THE ENGINE TO IDLE. *JS

2012 HONDA CBR 250. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO MOTORCYCLES FAILED TO START. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE SECOND OCCURRENCE, WHICH WAS SEPTEMBER 2012, THE MUFFLER FELL OFF THE BIKE, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED, THE MUFFLER MAY HAVE VIBRATED LOOSE. OCTOBER 5, 2012, THE MOTORCYCLE WOULD NOT START. ACCORDING TO THE INVOICE, THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND THE OIL WAS CHANGED, WHICH THE CONSUMER DID NOT REQUEST. NOVEMBER 2012, THE BIKE FAILED TO START. FEBRUARY 2013, THE CONSUMERS SON REPLACED THE FULLY CHARGED BATTERY, BUT THE BIKE STILL WOULD NOT START. THE CONSUMERS SON WAS TOLD TO CONTINUE TO ATTEMPT TO START THE BIKE, BUT TO NO AVAIL. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS, A STRANGE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE BIKE. LATER, THAT AFTERNOON, THE CONSUMERS SON RECEIVED A CALL, INFORMING HIM THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM. IT WAS A BLOWN SPARK PLUG. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS A RESULT OF TRYING TO START IT TOO MANY TIMES. THE CONSUMERS SON STATED HE WAS ONLY FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS HE WAS GIVEN. ON MONDAY FEBRUARY 11, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SALES MANAGER, WHO INFORMED HER, WATER WAS FOUND IN THE TANK/FUEL LINE. HE SUGGESTED HER SON LEFT THE BIKE OUTSIDE AND UNPROTECTED, WHICH IS HOW WATER ENTERED THE TANK/FUEL LINE.

SINCE AROUND 550 MILES(MOTORCYCLE NOW HAS 637 MILES) MY MOTORCYCLE HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY STALLING WHILE PULLING IN CLUTCH TO DOWNSHIFT. I LET OFF OF THROTTLE, PULL IN CLUTCH TO DOWNSHIFT AND THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE GOING ANYWHERE FROM 45-60 MILES AN HOUR. THIS MACHINE WILL ALSO STALL ON FIRST START 99% OF THE TIME AND HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE. SEEMS THE STALLING ISSUES ARE RELATED, BECAUSE THE STALLING WHILE RIDING DID NOT HAPPEN UNTIL THE STALLING ON START UP STARTED FIRST. DEALERSHIP/MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT HONDA HAS NO FIX FOR THIS ISSUE AND DOESN'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS AN ISSUE. EVEN THOUGH, HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS STALLING PROBLEM, SINCE 2011 WHEN SOME OF THOSE OWNERS FIRST STARTED TO COMPLAIN. CURRENTLY I HAVE HAD MY BIKE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE NOW WITH NO RESOLVE. I HAVE VIDEO PROOF OF THE ENGINE STALLING ON START UP, BUT APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. *TR
