It sputtered then quit. Everything locked up (both trunks etc) Dash lights flashing and would not allow me to turn off the ignition. Had to disconnect the battery, let it sit for a few minutes, then reconnected it. Still nothing. Had it towed. Once off the rollback it cranked right up. Any ideas??

Hi Leo, Welcome to Trike Talk
Always start @ the battery with electrical problems
First, check state of charge , followed by a load test

Leo.......Welcome To Trike-Talk.....:wave4:...As said previously check the battery and connections.....
Thanks for the input
Thanks guys. I ordered a new battery. The connections were tight. Since I just bought it and it’s a 2018, it’s unknown if that is the original battery. I’ve read where it should be changed every 2-1/2 to 3 years. Much like cars these days with the computer stuff. Thank you guys again. Very much appreciated and great to be on this site.

Have you discovered the problem? I have had a similar problem, new battery, tight fittings, runs now but concerned that it will happen again. Seems to correct itself!
concerned
ya i worry about that too. i installed a new battery but the mechanic at Honda said unless he can duplicate the problem there’s basically nothing he can do. Tough riding down a road miles from home and wondering if your going to make it home. With all the Goldwimg technology comes issues like this. let’s keep in touch ok brother?:Santa:

I've owned many bikes and have made it a practice to replace my battery every three years regardless.

Russ, first welcome to the forum a great group of guys. I also have a 2018 GW, mine is a DCT/CSC which I bought as a demonstrator. I had the same situation and like you didn't know the history of the battery. I installed a new battery and 6500 miles later I've had zero problems. Ride and enjoy!
