Im not sure but if i had a 3 day old bike doing that i'd be ringing my dealer

yes do that asap, 3 days old, you have to be joking that your already having problems. I would give that dealer a piece of my mind if they give you any trouble with returning the bike.

They said the 450 x comes with a warranty but not the r because it's a competition bike

I keep calling petes cycle on Belair Road in Maryland about this this is where I bought the bike they keep putting me on hold and transferring my call 2 service and sales. I dont know what to do im ready to drop it off there and leave it and go somewhere else.I spent alot of money with these people I bought my daughters crf50 there, all my riding gear, all the accessories,I will never spend a doller there again,I wont buy a spark plug from these people

dude i dont care if that was a brand new bike from 87 that you bought from a dealership, thats Bull shit! They ether need to fix it or let you trade it for another bike.

Yeah there is. U shut it off after engines at operatin temps. But its not a choke its technically a "fast idle knob" for warm up only

I got ahold of the manager for service,he said I can drop it off,the mil light is not indicating that nothing is wrong,I have rode honda dirt bikes most of my life, and Yamaha ATVs,I have a raptor to I have been babying the bike for break in when I pull clutch in it dies unless I keep reving it up,it bogs n dies, this is the first fuel injected bike I've ever had but something definitely is off, if they have to dig into the bike I dont want it I want another one,I didnt get the 2013 because I don't like the air shocks, I like the white plastic and dual exhaust,but that's it , the first day I get off work ill take the bike back to Pete's cycle and ill let you all know what's going on. and the idle knob is only to be pulled for cold starts. I have 1 more question, I bought full synthetic oil . can I run this on both sides, or will it mess my clutch up??? how do you guys post pictures on here??

my garage has heat in it, I never pulled idle before , because my manual says and the dealer told me that is only for cold starts, but the bike does this after it is hot as well,

will it ever idle? just wondering if it could be bad idle screw adjustment

it dies when I shift to first gear, and if im in 3rd flying down the street, when I pull the clutch in to downshift it dies inless I keep reving it up, it will Idle when I first start it but die when I try to go to first gear almost every time unless I keep reving it way up , I am thinking and hoping it just needs fine tune im going to take it back to the shop Saturday

or I will start the bike and it will IdLe I'll pull clutch in goto first and it stalls immediately

Post video on YouTube and copy paste link here. (May have been asked) have you checked your clutch cable properly adjusted?

clutch feels like its right,has play in it it engages like it should I am getting ready for work .ill make a youtube video soon as I have time , thanks you mite be right ill check it im pissed man I bought a brand new bike Im scared to ride intill I know what's going on with it

what if you blip the thottle a bit before you click it into gear? will it stall still? hard to tell if its user error or a bike problem.

im pretty sure the bike shop would have test ridden the bike before they gave it back to you. and they'd know whats right and whats wrong

I dont know took it out today n hear a metal clapping coming from motor,bogs when I gun it,it was a mistake buying this bike,im not a new rider just have new bike ,and yes I have to rev it before I go into first or it will definitely die, I'm not a mechanic, I'm not a pro but I can ride,they had it in the service I went up stairs to buy 5 gallon gas jug, a GoPro, coolant and oil and stuff buy the time I was done shopping they was done with my bike,i load it on my trailer bring it home put in the garage,I went riding today came home when got dark,I have been taking it someone easy for break in on bike it never been out of 3 rd yet

I'm not too good with computers, I do everything on my phone, if something is misspelled it's because I talk into it and it types what I say

I'll just post a video, if I'm doing something wrong let me know, I never had a fuel injected bike so I dont know it that's what it is or what

They said I had it since 9 th and theres no warranty at all on it,that's what I have to do it seems man this is crazy.

I bought it new I want another new one if they'll swap. the 13 was only few bucks more I just dont like air shocks my old 500 had em,so I got 2012 I do like the dual exhaust, and white plastics though

Id just like to say I have zero confidence in my local dealer. Id trust them as far as I can throw em and that only if you could coax one of them out into the parking lot. I hate to say it but buying used has worked out well for me partly because the bike has been tried tested put thru the ringer and I've had next to no issues. Id love to say "that what u get for buying a Honda" but that's unfair. They prolly had some rookie put that bike together at the dealer.

Ill tell short tale of woe. I had rear wheel for sv1000s needed tire mounted. Bearings were fine when I enter dealer trashed when I left.... hmmmm. I called bitched moaned. They say there balancing machine couldn't possiblely mess up bearings. I said if center spacer slipped mild pressure can warp bearing. The result ... I got crapped on even tho I've been customer of there's for over 7 years an bought new bike there once. They offered me a "discount" which was still more than twice what I paid on eBay. Never again I'm not crazy I know bearings were fine before. An this is a struggle over like 100$ not 9000$. Dealers feel like they have you by the ...junk plain an simple.

The "clapping " maybe valve adjustment issue.

Good thought bj.

I tighten the chain up, I a good 2 fingers

I tried to explain everything to the dealer, he said it's a new bike is nothing wrong with it and there's no warranty with it, it was just the clutch cable and a idle screw, the 1 guy there told me there was a piece of metal in the clutch cable but that's b******* there's no way to see in a clutch cable and they did not replace it and that's not the problem, I might be mistaken here but I can swear sometimes I get the piston hit something, I have to go into work tomorrow about 3 o'clock I'm going to wake up early and try to get the bike back down there, if they don't fix it this time I'll take it down and leave it and reported stolen I got gap insurance for it and I added to my car insurance I made a video a quick video so you can have something to go by but I'll make it better video for you I'll have somebody else hold phone why I'm on the bike if I could pay 100 150 something like that I wouldn't even care I just wanted to reliable bike that's what I paid for, Honda dirt bikes is all I ride ,well buy anyway, 4 wheelers I go with Yamaha

now you're being paranoid.  Take the bike back and leave it with them once more, and explain that the last time they "fixed" it didn't deal with the main problems you are having.   Call Honda as well and let them know about your experience and don't fail to mention that you are sharing your experience on the internet.  

I got a hold of the service manager like you told me, they got my bike I left it there. come to find out the dude it looked at it last time was not even a service tech. I don't even know why he got on my bike then thats crazy
