While driving vehicle on a county road, going straight about 55 mph, my back wheel locked up, with no warning. I was able to safely push it off the road but the back wheel will not turn for any reason and the clutch is also extremely loose now.
The part that is causing this problem is a known software problem on the bike and it is very dangerous. The bike is stalling and cutting power while i am riding or at a stop, it seems to be random. It happens every time i ride, however, and is very dangerous. The other night my bike just shut off…
Motorcycle will stall inadvertently and without warning when slowing down and coming to a stop sign or stop light. This week, it has happened twice. Several times the week before and i doubt i am the only person experiencing this because this problem is well documented on youtube…
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 honda cbr250r. While driving at low speeds, the motor shut off intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 5.
Basically when you downshift on the bike no matter what speed or gear it will just shut off even when the clutch is pulled in. It doesn't do it every time but it will happen at least once every time i ride. *js
