The fuel guage hits empty after only 3 gallons with a 5gal tank, did not do this when I first bought it, started after about 1200 miles on a long road trip. The TFT resets on its own, mileage for a tank will read for instance 22mi. when it should be 140-ish. It has reset while riding and on occasion between turning off ignition and restarting. At what point does this affect the automatic trans mission? The DCT is shifting up into 6th before 30mph creating a bog down situation. The resets a

This concerns a Honda motorcycle with a Dual Clutch Transmission (aka, automatic). This motorcycle has had an NHTSA recall for my specific issue (see below [22V-622 JPH added 01Jun2023]) and has had the recall performed. The issue prompting the recall is still happening to me and others who have had the recall performed. The engine sometimes stalls when given gas after idling (for me, it has always been idling for at least 30 seconds). When it happens, it happens the instant that I turn the th
The TFT Touchscreen has failed multiple time. Sometimes it blackouts so I cannot see what speed I am going or my tachometer. Recently it stopped responding to my touch input.

I could rev the engine, but it would not go in gear. This is a Dual-Clutch transmission model. Unable now to overtake the truck and with traffic oncoming, I retreated to the shoulder on the far side of the road. T
