Honda SH300 "danger engine stalling"

[macp]

Anybody experienced this or know anything about it ?

I found this review online it is not my own experience.

"Danger! Engine stalling!"

I was unlucky enough to buy a sh300i in 2009. Soon afterwards the bike starting stalling, putting me in danger on several occasions. HONDA first told me that it was a problem with the air intake control valve, after several attempts to solve it I was given a 2009 model in December 2009 because they admitted they had had several reported faults with the 2008 and didnot know how to sorted. In February 2010 i was given some money back when the new bike with 480 miles almost killed me again. Honda admitted not knowing what the problem was once again. On September 2011 I got my answer: honda uk wrote to me to inform that they have discovered that the sh300i between 2007 and 2010 potentially stalls the when idling or during low throttle opening operation when the centrifugal clutch has disengaged at low speeds. Don't ask me what that means but it basically almost caused me my life several times and put me and my love ones under a great deal of stress. The worst is that even after admitting the fault Honda will not give me the compensation that I feel i deserve. They said that I had 4500 miles of use from the two bikes and that together with the £3000 they refunded me they are not ready to make any further contribution. And insult! No regard for human life and zero willingness to put things right in my opinion. Trust me, don't risk it. If it has taken them 4 years to admit to this technical fault, who is to say it's solved? Maybe the 2011 has it too. Are you willing to risk your life and £4700 on it? Remember you heard it from me first. Nayra P. Lorenzo

So you've had almost 4500 miles out of both scooters even though they were trying to kill you? I guess Honda have sold loads of SH300s and if this was a nationwide concern they would have launched a recall?

And if was as bad as you say I would have instructed a solictor rather than let it drag on for four years....

if your buying a new one macp, there is no problem with the new model,2011 on.

I never had any trouble with my 2008 model, thankfully. The real problem is those who said that the recall made the problem happen!

Sorry guys this is a review I found online and not my own experience.

I would be buying a 2007 possibly 2008 model.

Ask if the ECU has been changed on recall, if not it will be changed for free at your local Honda dealer. I have the 2008 model.
