“I have a 2001 Honda goldwing GL1800A motorcycle. In june of 2004 while riding in the mountains I downshifted to second gear, it went in fine but as I accelerated out of a curve the bike lurched forward. When I got back to reno I reported this to the local Honda dealer. They rode it and could not get it to act up for them. This continues to happen intermittently for several months getting more frequent. Finally it does it for the Honda service manager. He contacts Honda corporate and they say to bring it in and open it up to see what's wrong. …”
