Engine · reported Aug 17, 2026
The CRF1100 2020 DCT stalls when trying to take off form a complete stop. It happens most often at traffic lights and has already lead to dangerous situations with cars behind you expecting you to go but you stall. This bike is not supposed to stall and since it only happens on occasion (so far perhaps around 20 times), yesterday's ride it happened 3 times. It is hard to rely on the bike behaving as you would expect. There are many others on forums talking about this and there was a recall in 2020 but my bikes VIN was not on the recall list. I wonder if they scoped the recall too narrow as my…
Vehicle Speed Control · at 3,200 miles · reported Jan 22, 2021
When garaging, I have to roll back and move forward to square off. Being an automatic, you hit a switch to change n to d. I hit n, rolled back, hit d and released the brake. The bike shot forward with no throttle input 10 - 15 FT hitting a rock wall and throwing me against my car pinning me. No one heard me holler for help. I held the brake while reaching over with my left hand and hit the kill switch before heaving the bike off me. I was really shaken up. The insurance co. Totaled the bike. It had happened to my wife too a month after getting the bike. Luckily she was in an open area. It has…
Engine · at 180 miles · reported Nov 28, 2020
On multiple occasions, the engine cut out. Several times while I open the throttle all the way quickly to pass on a two lane highway. Several times when I'm cruising down the highway at 70 MPH, it just started missing. Very dangerous when your speed goes from 70 to 40 in seconds on the freeway.
Fuel/Propulsion System · at 4,000 miles · reported Aug 30, 2020
Vehicle was in motion on an interstate highway at approximately 70 miles an hour, in traffic, when engine suddenly stopped receiving adequate fuel. Revs were limited to 4k and incoming traffic behind me nearly caused a collision, due to my sudden loss of speed without brake lights. Upon taking to shop, a white paste-like substance was found covering some of the key welds inside the gas tank. This substance flakes off and clogs the fuel filter. In my case, this happened within the first 4,000 miles. This appears to be a manufacturing error in which the heat of welding causes a special gas tank…
Fuel/Propulsion System · at 425 miles · reported Aug 30, 2020
Improper fuel tank welds plugged the fuel filter with debris. Discovered the zinc flakes upon inspection of the fuel tank. 425 miles on the motorcycle and less than 10 gallons of gas through the tank. Unlike automobiles, when a motorcycle fuel system is compromised, a loss of power can be catastrophic to the rider. Unwilling to risk my safety, including death, I was proactive in my investigation of this owner and dealer known issue, and started my own maintenance plan to prevent an unintentional dangerous loss of power, which might occur on the interstate highway system at 70 MPH. See attached…
