Example complaints
Fuel system: “I have a 2006 Honda shadow aero 750cc motorcycle. Sometime when I start it up it will run for a couple of minutes and then cut off and will not start back. This has happened 4 times now in the last year. Once while I was on the road driving and 3 times while I have had the bike running to warm up. I let it set for awhile about an hour or so and it will start back up and run good. I know that there has been a recall on some of the petcocks on our bikes. I have taken the VIN # to the dealer and had them check to see if mine was one of the ones on recall. They have said no. …”
