New Car Assessment Program

The 2019HONDACRF1000 carries 23 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.

Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2019 CRF1000 is fuel/propulsion system with 14 filings, followed by engine (5) and vehicle speed control (2). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability.

NHTSA currently has 77 investigation files overlapping the 2019 CRF1000, and 9 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

MATERIAL IS FLAKING OFF THE WELD SEAMS OF THE FUEL TANK AND CLOGGING THE FILTER. I HAD NOT EXPERIENCED PERFORMANCE ISSUES YET, BUT OTHER HAVE REPORTED THE FILTER BECOMING COMPLETELY CLOGGED, STALLING THE ENGINE. I REMOVED THE FILTER, CLEANED IT AND REINSTALLED. THERE IS STILL MORE MATERIAL ON THE WELD SEAMS THAT COULD FLAKE OFF. THE FLAKES IN THE DRAIN PAN IN THE ATTACHED PHOTO CAME FROM THE TANK. THE OTHER PHOTOS ARE OF THE INSIDE OF THE TANK AND THE FUEL FILTER.

20200620FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

AFRICA TWIN ADVENTURE SPORT WOULD SOUND LIKE IT HAD A MISFIRE, AND WHEN THE THROTTLE IS TWISTED THE BIKE WILL HESITATE AND MAKE A POPPING SOUND. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT OCTANE RATINGS AND I'M STILL HAVING THE ISSUE REGARDLESS. WHEN I NEED TO ACCELERATE THE BIKE HESITATES AND MAKES A POPPING SOUND. THE ISSUE OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY RIDE AND IT IS VERY ANNOYING. PURCHASED THE AFRICA TWIN NEW AND I'M HAVING ISSUES AT 2,000 MILES. FOR THE POPPING OR HESITATION TO OCCUR IT CAN HAPPEN AT STAND STILL OR ON THE MOVE. THERE IS NO WARNING TO WHEN THE ISSUE WILL HAPPEN. WHETHER AT SPEED OR AT A STAND STILL WHEN THE THROTTLE IS TWISTED THE BIKE WILL POP AND HESITATE. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE ISSUE OF HONDA'S FUEL SYSTEM. MANY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE. ON THE INNER LINING OF THE FUEL TANK WHITE FLAKES COME OFF THE TANK AND MIX WITH THE FUEL, THEN CREATING AN ISSUE FOR THE FUEL PUMP. SOUNDS LIKE THE BIKE IS BEING STARVED OF FUEL, AND I AM SUSPECTING IT IS THIS EXACT ISSUE. *TR
