“My 2005 Honda vtx1300c has experienced many problems since purchase. There has been a huge issue with a rattle, the dealer/service center was able to find and fix the rattle in two separate locations on the motorcycle. Right after purchase there has been an intermittent electrical problem with overheating and stalling. The dealer/service center has only been able to find and correct the overheating issue, the intermittent stalling continues. When this occurs the motorcycle will quit running abruptly, on some instances the drive tire will lock up until clutch is pulled. …”
