THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE LARGE FUEL TANK IN THE SPORT ES MODELS. THERE ARE CONTAMINANTS INSIDE THE FUEL TANK THAT BREAK LOOSE AND END UP CLOGGING UP THE FUEL SYSTEM. THIS CAUSES THE MOTORCYCLE TO ABRUPTLY LOSE POWER OR EVEN STALL OUT. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND HONDA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE IN A FORM OF A RECALL. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN PRESENT IN PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS AND IS STILL PRESENT IN THE NEW REDESIGNED 2020 MODELS.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES AN HOUR, IN TRAFFIC, WHEN ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED RECEIVING ADEQUATE FUEL. REVS WERE LIMITED TO 4K AND INCOMING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISION, DUE TO MY SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS. UPON TAKING TO SHOP, A WHITE PASTE-LIKE SUBSTANCE WAS FOUND COVERING SOME OF THE KEY WELDS INSIDE THE GAS TANK. THIS SUBSTANCE FLAKES OFF AND CLOGS THE FUEL FILTER. IN MY CASE, THIS HAPPENED WITHIN THE FIRST 4,000 MILES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ERRO…
