Example complaints
Engine cooling: “During continued low speed operation such as stop and go traffic this motorcycle, along with others of this make and model has an extreme tendency to seriously overheat. The manufacturer contends that the machine was designed for operation other than stop and go which, of coursee, is not always possible. The manufacturer has offered no fix for this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #753417, filed 2001-10Transmission and drivetrain: “Speedometer is 8% fast and odometer is 6% fast ,the speedometer being 8% fast causes a safety problem when driving on turnpikes and interstates ( this is a touring motorcycle). When reported to Honda I was told that Honda was within the legal limits and had no intention of correcting this problem. Is there a legal limit that a speedometer can be incorrect, even if is a safety problem?”
