Fuel/Propulsion System · at 10,000 miles · reported Nov 18, 2020
Motorcycle loses power intermittently while on the highway, sputters and stalls. Dealership states there are no issues and that there is no fuel contamination within the fuel tank.

Fuel/Propulsion System · at 6,000 miles · reported Oct 29, 2020
Motorcycle engine died while riding on a major highway. Bike slowed down quickly and I had to move over to the shoulder quickly. After a few minutes I could start the bike again but this happened several times on my way home. I found that the fuel pump in tank is starving, resulting in stalling of the motorcycle.

I cleaned the tank and installed a new pre-filter and covered the entire fuel delivery module in a filter type sock to prevent future issues. I…

It is a ferrous, white dust. The face book groups devoted to this model are full of photos and descriptions from many, many others that have experienced this issue and my dealer has dealt with this before, I can provide many, many links to fb posts with pictures documenting what is in the tank when this occurs. This occurred at 4,000 miles on the odometer. I was attempting to merge into traffic at 10mph and when…
Fuel/Propulsion System · at 1,750 miles · reported Jul 6, 2020
2018 honda africa twin adventure sports. At 1,750 miles on the motorcycle, I discovered a considerable amount of white sediment in gas tank due to welding slag in the manufacturing process. The sediment ended up clogging up the fuel filters and stoping the fuel pump. This resulted in the motorcycle being starved for fuel and not running. I was stranded on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere.
