Example complaints

Electrical system: “There are a group of wires that run under the seat latching mechanism and under the top gas tank that rub and fray. Due to this issue being talked about on the st 1300 chat room I checked mine. The insulation was starting to fray from the rubbing on the latching mechanism. If the wires were to short the power could be shut off to the bike causing a crash and injury or death.”

NHTSA complaint #10093428, filed 2004-10, 9,400 miles

Brakes: “I was at my Honda motorcycle dealer today for the third time. The dealer is ocala motor sports in ocala, florida. They stated that parts are still unavailable for the first recall on my motorcycle. The date of the first recall was nov. 19, 2004. It was NHTSA campaign id # 04v549000. There have been two subsequent recalls since then making it a total of three recalls, the latter two being 04v568000 & 05v010000. I think that three months is a totally unreasonable time frame to even respond to the first recall. …”

NHTSA complaint #10110360, filed 2005-02

Engine cooling: “Once the temperature gets above 85 degrees outside, the temperature of the vehicle becomes unbearable. Engine averages about 205 degrees near the consumer's legs. This could cause blood clods and dehydration.”
