Mine just shuts off for no reason. I could be heading down a trail and it just cut off, all I have to do is turn the key off then back on or turn the killswitch off then back on and it will be running again.

It is not loosing 12+ power cause all the lights stay on and doesn't seem like a wire or connection is loose because just turning the key off then on makes it run fine again. If i dont turn the key or killswitch off then back on it will completely stall and then won't start but just crank over. This usually happens just at one point while riding (it will do it at least twice in a row and then not do it again for the rest of the day). This doesn't happen just in water or in heat or anything like that. Just randomly.

Honda dealer has no clue and doensn't know how to troubleshoot cause it only happens about every other ride. BTW..the bike is only 3 weeks old, and is stock.

 

Check your gas cap vent hose, if its too long cut it, that could be the problem? Anyways worth checking...

 

is your idle set high enough?

 

I use to have that problem but it hasn't happen for a while now. I understand what your saying!! You could be riding and just putting along and it will just quit......right?????

 

yea my new 01 recon does it too, i've only had it for 2 weeks, one guy said that he called the dealer and they said that it may be cause your ridin on bumpy ground and the carb. is suckin air into it and it causes it to stall

 

poo city??
ok

 

Idle is fine,,,it has done it full blast going down trails and also has done it while driving on my driveway (no bumps). Also if you read the post it wont start after it stalls till I turn the key off then back on or the same with the killswitch. The dealer and I are clueless.

 

The best fix I can think of is to make the dealer replace the bike with another one if he can't fix it. The bike is still new and no way one should have to spend that much money and have a bike you can't rely on.

 

Have them put a new cdi in it

 

My guess is cdi unit also.
