Okay so today I brought the bike in, and told them the issues, but they didnt know...they were clueless.
btw I just said my problem, they did not look at the bike.
Mean reason for the visit was to make an appointment, so I made a deal that at the end of this month I will bring the bike in, so they can figure it out for a whole week.
Meanwhile I will make a video to show the issue.
I fear when that week is over I will not have a 100% working as it should-bike.
At the mean time, they did make an official complaint to send of to Honda Worldwide...so the whole procedure has started about this issue I and (so many?) others (in Taiwan) have.
I feel this is going to be a long term thing to deal with.
Fortunatelly, I can ride the bike for about perfectly for about 90% of the time tbh.
If I do long trips the bike is 100%, but if I do only city riding when the issue appears, I can somewhat anticipate by pushing the killswitch, at an convenient moment. hmmm
Luckely the time the bike wants to die, there are already moments in advance you see its struggling...so its not that bad that the bike is completely unrideable and I just wont let it come so far that the bike dies.
Bottom line at this moment: anticipation is the key.
When I have made the video for my dealer I will share it here as well....I would not be surprised if the issue will arise on more EX models.
But still, this should not be happening to a brand new bike from Honda..
