I recently acquired a 2017 CB300F. I've gone on a couple of 15-20 mile rides so far and it has run great. Over the weekend I changed the oil and filter (Honda Pro GN4 10W30 and K&N filter) and ran it for a few minutes to circulate the oil and check for leaks. Today I headed out for a ride and right away noticed a bit of hesitation in throttle response. Once on the open road I accelerated to speed, felt a hesitation, then the rear wheel locked up.
I tried to start it again by the side of the road -- there was a lot of traffic noise, but it seemed like when I turned on the key the fuel pump kept running instead of stopping after a few seconds like it normally does. I trailered it home, and now it will start, run for a few seconds, and then shut off. Oil level shows as good, and the rear brake seems fine (the bike rolls easily).
Obviously I am concerned that something was not right about the oil change and it caused the engine to temporarily seize. I'm just wondering if anyone has a more optimistic possibility. The nearest dealer is quite a ways away and I'd like to make sure I have considered all of the simpler possibilities that I could fix myself. Thanks
