  Vehicle E-Clutch system malfunctioning. When riding the e-clutch warning lights will flicker and cause the bike to jult uncontrollably for about 3 seconds. It happens at random, no one situation is the same, it could be in the middle of a turn, it could be at a stop light, it could be getting up to speed, etc. This has happened over 10 times while riding and after taking it to the dealership they were unable to reproduce the warning lights and the issue didn't show up when running the codes. After picking it up for the second time, the malfunctioning started again within the first 20 minutes of riding it. This is not just a user error, or a operating error like the dealership tried to tell me it was. This is a bigger issue. This almost cost me my life and I won't let this be brushed under the rug. This specific incident was the worst of the bunch. It was about 6 hours after I picked the bike up from the dealership the 1st time. I was out riding with a friend making frequent stops at resturaunts and gas stations. The E-clutch light had already been on at this point but per the dealership they told me it should still be safe to ride. Obviously not. After our last stop of the day, the bike decided (as I was getting up to speed) to junk uncontrollably for about 3 seconds, shut the engine off, then turn the engine back on and accelerate. At this point I hit the kill switch and glided to a safe spot to pull over and assess the issue. This could have easily costed my life if I had been at a higher speed. The repair order attached is from the 2nd repair. The first repair was able to get covered by warranty I guess so I didn't get any paperwork.

  My motorcycle, which has presented constant failures with the e clutch system since the beginning of the purchase in October 2024 to the present date, having reported this many times to the dealership RAZEE Motorcycle Center. At first it was thought it could be solved with the recall by HONDA through NHSTA Recalls. The problem has continued to the point of ensuring that it is a risk to handle the motorcycle on public roads, due to the fact that it stays in neutral and cannot apply the gears up or down for 4 seconds or more. I have been close to having accidents on two occasions and I opened a case with American Honda Motor Co. #15642106 to escalate the motorcycle problem. The motorcycle has been tested by a Honda Technician on August 12 2025 and was told by the Technician “ NOTHING IS WRONG with the motorcycle”. The problem has been present and showing symptoms of a flat line on the dashboard.
