NHTSA Complaint #11664956 — 2017 HONDA CRF1000D

Vehicle stalls. Vehicle is equipped with a DCT which stalls at roadway speed. When decelerating from ~25 mph to 0 mph at traffic, most commonly while coming to a stop for a red light, the motorcycle will stall. The engine turns off. The engine will often refuse to turn back on. Use of the start switch produces a clicking noise and requires several tries to restart motorcycle. The bike then starts in Neutral and needs to be shifted back into Drive, Sport, or a manual mode to return to movement. This is dangerous when it happens in traffic, because cars and trucks that are not paying attention may not notice the motorcycle has stopped. This also happens when idling at a red light or if manually shifting, when shifting into drive to accelerate forward when the light turns to green. Dozens of instances of the behavoir have been observed over the last 6 months (Jan to June, 2025).
