Honda 2018 ATS. what have i done today, drop it back to Honda as the fuel system is knackered and i cant ride it....

Wow I have an update. Well i had a replacement tank, fuel system, fuel pump etc. And all is well, well it was for 2 months a 4k miles. Bike is back in with Honda, with the same problem. So another warranty strip down and rebuild costing honda another £2.5k. Also asked them to change the front wheel ...

My Bike an 18 plate Africa Twin DCT cost me £13,500, so a bloody big investment. I don't expect it to try and kill me on the motorway, by cutting out randomly, everytime I ride i...

Before speculating any further I would get that grit analysed to determine exactly what it is. Then you can trace it back to how it got into the fuel system. . Fuel filter mesh is that intact. What micron filtration does it offer as some fine particles might have got through. Get Honda to check for...

Bike has never been off road and I use UK petrol stations, so unless they add flakes and grit and sand to their petrol in petrol stations, I reckon it has always been in there.
