Structure · at 1,600 miles · reported Jan 19, 2020
I was riding thru a turn on my 2019 honda cb300r and when I started to accelerate out of it in 2nd gear it popped out of second and down into neutral causing me to lose traction and fall onto my left side. Luckily I walked away with only some road rash. I had the recall done, but something is still off in the transmission. A few days prior this had happened to me but I was riding straight and I was able to get the motorcycle back into the correct gear after it downshifted on its own. Last night however it happened in a turn, super scary not safe.
