Electrical System · at 44,600 miles · reported Sep 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.

Engine · at 22,300 miles · reported Sep 1, 2015

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.
