Hey figured I'd see if anyone had any idea..
So 2 weeks ago I was going off a wall jump and scrubbed it slightly and my bars immediately went to full lock off the face of the jump, completely out of my control, but was able to get them to straighten out. Fast forward to this week same thing happens except they wouldn't unlock and I ended up separating my shoulder and dinging my knee up pretty bad.
Any ideas? Bike is completely stock, 17hrs on it.
Now I'm out for a while and am looking at dropping 1500$ into it to get it right again, bars, triple clamps, exhaust, subframe, etc..
I wonder if this is a factory issue? Maybe related to steering stem? Should I contact Honda?
Any help is appreciated.

OP, do you use a pressure washer to clean your bike? Did you tear down and grease everything when you first got the bike? Pressure washer + 17 hours to me equals a few more bearings being shot. Check your axles and wheel bearings.
Definitely pull those clamps out and clean up those bearings . I'm pulling mine right down this week . First
7 hrs has seen to much wet sand and water . Two dry ride days only
