TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CBR250R MOTORCYCLE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300.
ENGINE STALLS OUT WHEN DOWNSHIFTING, PARTICULARLY AT THE MOMENT WHEN THROTTLE IS RELEASED AND CLUTCH IS DISENGAGED. IT SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO THE REPORTED INCIDENT ALREADY ON FILE WITH NHTSA FOR THE KAWASAKI NINJA 300 (HTTP://WHEELS.BLOGS.NYTIMES.COM/2013/06/24/KAWASAKI-FACES-N-H-T-S-A-INQUIRY-OVER-POSSIBLE-STALLING-ISSUE/). THE ENGINE STALLING HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 WEEKS. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AT MISSION MOTORCYCLES IN DALY CITY IN MARCH 2013. THE BIKE WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALER ON JULY 3RD TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. DEALER REPORTED "THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE", THEREFORE NOTHING COULD BE DONE. I FEEL THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO HAVE THE ENGINE STALL WHILE DOWNSHIFTING AND HOPE NHTSA INVESTIGATES THIS MATTER. FURTHER REPORTS OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS WITH THE HONDA CBR250R CAN BE FOUND AT THESE FORUM: HTTP://WWW.CBR250.NET/FORUM/CBR250-PROBLEMS-ISSUES/2100-MY-CBR250S-ENGINE-TURNS-OFF-WHEN-DOWNSHIFTING.HTML. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
