What owners report
The motorcycle broke spontaneous two bolts that support the bracket that have the gearshift pedal, a step (to rest the foot) and the side stand. This on the left side of the motorcycle. The motorcycle can't be rode because a safety switch is in the stand.
TFT failed 9/8/23 to respond to touch input. Can only be operated by bar controls. Terribly distracting. Other owners report similar failures. Screen is manufactured by Garmin for Honda.

I bought the bike new June 22, 2021 and to date May 26, 2022 this stall has occurred 8 times in 5440 miles; the first stall occurred at 1850 miles 2 months new. Note: this is the DCT version motorcycle so there is not clutch or gear shift lever to erroneously manipulate. Note2: I said 'Yes' to crash because the motorcycle ALMOST fell over (but truly did not) twice on me as I had difficulty catching the bike's b
