THIS IS A HONDA MOTORCYCLE WITH A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT). MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO OWN THESE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A BOLT COMING LOOSE INSIDE THE DCT THAT CAUSES THE BIKE TO GET STUCK IN ONE GEAR. MY MACHINE FAILED IN MAY OF 2019 WHILE COMING OFF A FREEWAY. NO ACCIDENT BUT EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN ONE. THE DEALERSHIP HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND CONTACTED THE FACTORY. AFTER HAVING THE BIKE FOR WEEKS AT THE DEALERSHIP THE FACTORY SENT OUT A TECH WHO BY SHEER DUMB LUCK HAD SEEN THE SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER DCT MACHINES AND DIRECTED THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK FOR THE ISSUE. IT WAS INDEED A LOOSE BOLT. I HAVE IT AND IT IS UNDAMAGED. I AM OUT $750 BUCKS AND THREE WEEKS DUE TO A LOOSE BOLT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SECURED AT THE FACTORY PER THE DEALERSHIP. MULTIPLE PEOPLE ON MAIN WEBSITE FOR THIS MOTORCYCLE ARE ALSO HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.
