2013 Honda GL1800A Fuel system Problems

“Motorcycle has a hesitation at throttle tip in, from a cold start, during an engine warm-up, at ambient temperatures of 50*f to 90*f. This engine hesitation can result in an engine stall. An engine stall on a motorcycle, particularly if the motorcycle is engaged in a low speed turn; as a motorcycle is likely to be engaged in after a cold start, will result in a crash. This is a known problem to Honda motor company. This problem exists on most 2012 and 2013 Honda goldwing motorcycles. My motorcycle does this. I consider it a serious safety defect. …”

“Bike exhibits a low speed stumble under acceleration when the engine is 1) started cold and not up to full operating temperature and 2) started warm after sitting for 30 minutes. The low speed stumble under acceleration is a hazard because it can cause loss of stability at slow speeds and can cause lack of acceleration when turning onto a main highway. This is a known issue in the 2012 and up models that Honda will not recognize as a warrantable defect and offers no solution for repair under warranty. …”

“2013 Honda goldwing navi package throttle response stumbles when the engine is cold. After a cold engine start, regardless of outside temperature, starting in a low gear (1st or 2nd is normal), upon throttle roll-in, the engine will not respond enough to keep forward momentum. You have to slip the clutch and keep the RPM's up to keep the motorcycle moving without hesitation. I feel this is a major safety concern. Once the engine achieves operating temperature, the hesitation/stumble is resolved. This needs to be fixed by the manufacturer - Honda. Asap.”
