2026 Cfmoto 675SS problems

Filed Oct 28, 2026 · Acceleration · NC · crash · 1 injury

While riding my CFMOTO 675SS motorcycle, I experienced a sudden and unexpected acceleration while making a normal, gentle left turn at an intersection. As I attempted to slow down and apply the brakes, the engine unexpectedly increased in RPM, became noticeably louder, and the motorcycle surged forward despite my efforts to stop. I was unable to regain control or stop the motorcycle before colliding with another motorcycle traveling nearby. The collision resulted in injuries, including cuts and abrasions. Police and emergency medical personnel responded to the scene, and I was transported by ambulance to the emergency room for evaluation. I am concerned about a possible throttle system malfunction, including a sticking throttle, binding throttle cable, or improper throttle return. The motorcycle’s throttle, handlebars, and related controls are factory-original, with no aftermarket modifications. I cannot confirm whether the throttle failed to return to its closed position or whether there were previous warning signs. The motorcycle has not yet undergone a mechanical inspection, and the suspected issue has not been reproduced or evaluated by a dealership or the manufacturer. This incident created a serious safety hazard because the motorcycle appeared to continue delivering engine power while I was attempting to brake, resulting in a collision and injuries requiring emergency medical treatment. I am requesting that the federal safety agency document and investigate this incident as a potential unintended acceleration or throttle-control safety issue involving the CFMOTO 675SS.
