Honda’s Africa Twins have been hit by a software glitch that causes the engine to stall, leaving many owners frustrated. The issue is reportedly affecting several models, including the CRF1100L, CRF1100A, and CRF1100RS. Owners have taken to social media and online forums to report the problem, which appears to be linked to a software update released in April 2022.
The faulty software can cause the engine to cut out, often without warning, which can lead to a range of issues, including difficulty starting the bike, stalling on the side of the road, and even serious accidents. While some owners have reported that a software update is available to fix the issue, others claim that the problem persists even after applying the patch.
Honda has acknowledged the issue and is working on a permanent fix, but many owners are still waiting for a resolution. In the meantime, some have taken to repairing the problem themselves, while others are choosing to ride with extra precautions. For those affected, it’s a frustrating and concerning situation that highlights the importance of rigorous testing and quality control in the development process.
