I have a 2009 Big Red and sometimes when in fprward it will jump , not rev up,makes weird noises. If I stop the forward motion and put it in neutral and then I rev it up a little and it takes off normal . Does the honda BR Have a fuel filter? This started about a week ago. The gas tank is half full. Can anybody help. It has been trouble free.

Re: honda big red hesitats and jumps sometime when it is in

I have to tell you what was wrong with my Big Red. Thanks to Action Honda in Hudson Fl for figuring out what was wrong. The parts man , a genius , said it sounds like it is from lack of use. The clutches are not separating. I bought it used from another dealer. I kept the oil level where the dealer had it. Turns out it had 3/4 of a quart too much oil. Runs great now. Thanks for reading my problem.

Hum... Not sure about the "lack of use" part.. lol.
But I guess in theory the springs could stick from "lack of use" but that may be a stretch seeing they are bathed in oil.

Sorry I never responded to your question.
I generally try to make sure every post has a response.
Must over over looked it.
Sorry.

*I wrote this on the forum a few months ago. Let me tell every Big REd owner something. If you have any trouble with hesitation, do this first. START YOUR BIG RED IN NEUTRAL. If my BR hesitates, I shift to neutral then to forward and it runs perfect. This works for me.

tdbell,
Was that all it was? Sometimes the fix is nothing more then learning the best way to handle it.
Now that you mention this.. My Rincon would do that sometimes also. I found it was a switch that was not registering on the break leaver. Moving to N before throttle fixed it every time. Later found it was a dual switch on the right break handle not connecting. Replaced it and all was good.
Thanks for the update.
