  ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I WENT FOR A RIDE ONE DAY AND AS I STARTED MY BIKE I HAD NO INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FUNTION AT ALL NO RUNNING LIGHTS BESIDES HEAD LIGHT AND BRAKE WHEN APPLIED. THOUGHT IT WEIRD FOR A NEW BIKE TO DO THIS. SO I CHECKED FUSES FOUND A BLOWN FUSE OK COOL PROBLEM FOUND. REPLACED FUSE AND NOT 20MIN INTO A RIDE SAME THING CLUSTER GONE. I KNEW WHAT IT WAS SO I REPLACEED SAME FUSE AGAIN AND BAM SAME THING HAPPENS. SO I START DIGGING ONLINE FIND THERES A X NUMBER OF BIKE W THE SAME ISSUES AND A RECALL SO I ENTER MY VIN BUT ITS NOT LISTED FOR THAT ISSUE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY OTHERS THAT CAME UP LATER. THIS OCCURED WHILE CITY DRIVING.

  FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  I BOUGHT TWO OF THESE FOR MY WIFE AND I WHILE OUT OPERATING THESE VEHICLES AT ABOVE 90 DEGREES SEVERE FAILURE OF THE FUEL SYSTEM CAUSED THE VEHICLES TO STALL AND DIE CAUSING MORE THAN TEN TIMES OF BOTH VEHICLES WITHIN MINUTES OF EACH OTHER TO FAIL. PLACING VEHICLES ON KICKSTANDS WITH COOLING FANS RUNNING UNTIL FANS SHUT OFF TO BE ABLE TO RESTART AND RIDE. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE FAY MYERS DEALERSHIP FOR BOTH TO BE SERVICED AND THEY RETURNED TO ME A VERDICT OF CANNOT REPEAT FAILURE LOOKING AND RESEARCHING ONLINE SHOWED SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS MACHINE HAVING THIS EXACT FAILURE INDICATING A POSSIBLE FLEET FAILURE THAT HONDA WILL NOT RECOGNIZE. MLHMD3817G5302254 IS THE OTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS BOUGHT AT THE SAME TIME AND EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME FAILURES.

  ENGINE

  2014 HONDA CRF250L WITH 3512 MILES. FOUR MILE FROM HOME ON FREEWAY 405 SOUTH AS I WAS RIDING ABOUT 55 MPH AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE ENGINE SHUT OFF CAUSING THE BIKE TO STALLED ON A BUSY FREEWAY AND ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BY FAST COMING TRAFFIC. UNABLE TO BUMP START IN GEARS I HAVE TO COAST THE BIKE TO A NARROW EMERGENCY LANE. TRY TO RESTART THE BIKE BUT WITHOUT SUCCESS. TOW THE BIKE HOME AND RECHARGE OVER NIGHT AND CHECK OIL, AIR AND PLUG THEY ARE FINE. START THE BIKE AND TEST RODE AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE BIKE RAN FINE WITH THROTTLE OPEN BUT WOULD SHUT DOWN AGAIN WHEN SHIFTING. I FOUND THIS PROBLEM IS AN SAFE AND HOPE HONDA HAVE A SOLUTION BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT OR KILL.
