ODI #10905671

Incident: April 5, 2016 · Filed: September 12, 2016

MY MOTORCYCLE ENGINE STOPPED OPERATING FOUR TIMES, TWICE IN TRAFFIC AND I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. I COULD NOT RESTART THE ENGINE UNTIL I PLAYED WITH FUSES, AND NOTICED MAIN FUSE B (FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM) WAS EXTREMELY HOT. ONCE HOME, I NOTICED THAT THE WIRE COMING OUT OF MAIN FUSE B WAS SMALLER GAUGE THAN THE WIRE IT WAS CONNECTED TO, AND IT WAS BAKED FROM OVER HEATING SO BAD IT WAS TURNED BROWN WITH A TAN STRIPE INSTEAD OF RED WITH WHITE STRIP IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.

DRIVING DOWN STATE ROAD DOING APPROX 40 MPH WHEN BIKE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND DIED. PULLED OVER AND AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS IT RESTARTED. THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES IN MY 14 MILE COMMUTE TO WORK AT VARIOUS SPEEDS INCLUDING ONCE WHEN TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC. AFTER FINDING A AFE PARKING LOT I DISCOVERED MY MAIN FUSE AND WIRES HAD MELTED AND WAS DAMAGED. MY STARTER RELAY CONNECTION WAS ALSO MELTED. THIS WAS A KNOWN FLAW FOR THESE BIKES AND HONDA HAS IGNORED THIS SAFETY ISSUE.
