NHTSA Complaint #11382776 — 2018 HONDA CRF1000D

THIS IS MY FIRST INSTANCE:I WAS RIDING ON THE 2 FREEWAY, AROUND 65MPH AND WHEN I TRIED TO OVERTAKE A SLOWER CAR, I OPENED UP THE TROTTLE AND THE BIKE LUGGED, AND SHOOK, LOSING POWER. STEADILY THE BIKE KEPT LOSING POWER UNTIL IT WAS NOT SAFE. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS FAST AS I COULD BECUASE THERE WAS NO MORE POWER, AND CARS WERE FAST BEHIND ME. SECOND INSTANCE WAS WHILE RIDING ON THE 1 FREEWAY IN BAJA, AGAIN IWAS RIDING AROUND 65MPH AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, I OPENED UP THE THROTTLE AND THE BIKE STARTED LOOSING POWER AND SHAKING ABRUPTLY. IT HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES. 1 IN LOS ANGELES AND 2 ON THE MEXICAN FREEWAYS. VERY UNSAFE. I AM STILL 3 WEEKS AWAY FROM MY COMING BACK TO THE US AND I AM SCARED OF BEING STRANDED IN THE LONELIEST HIGHWAYS IN BAJA, MEXICO.
