Example complaints
Steering: “As delivered and with the rear axle aligned equally on the hash marks on each side of the swingarm, the rear tire does not track in the same path as the front tire. Similarly, the rear sprocket is misaligned with the chain. In order to correct this, the rear axle must be misaligned according to the hash marks. Doing so corrects the alignment of the front and rear tires and also aligns the rear sprocket with the chain. However, the amount of axle shift required is enough that I am concerned the axle may not hold securely hold this position, meaning it could slip while under way. …”
NHTSA complaint #10705936, filed 2015-04, 2 milesSuspension: “After I rode the bike for a while, it became obvious because of handlebar misalignment that something wasn't right. The handle bars are tilted to the right quite a bit. My investigation determined that it is a problem of rear axle alignment. The rear tire must be adjusted to a mismatch of hash-marks on each side in order to achieve a straight riding track. I also experienced shaking in the bike at speeds greater than 45 MPH. Taking the bike to two different dealers and contacting Honda customer service has not provided any fixes or acceptable responses. …”
