Example complaints
Steering: “My 2007 Honda vtx-1300c has a wobble which is only noticeable when decelerating from 50 miles per hour. I found out that most if not all of the Honda vtx series motorcycle have had cheap bearings put in the front forks. Usually the bad bearings wear out within a year's time, but since I bought the bike used in 2020 this problem was never fixed. This problem is easily corrected by putting in tapered bearings in!”
NHTSA complaint #11350735, filed 2020-08, 14,500 milesSuspension: “My 2007 Honda 1300 vtx develops a violent wheel wobble upon acceleration and deceleration at around 40mph. This issue wears tires and is very dangerous if you are not prepared to react to the problem.I have spoken with other 1300 vtx owners and this is a very common problem on this particular model. Honda does not recognize the problem and does nothing to correct it. Honda should be held liable for repair and replacement of parts and replacement of front tires which show unreasonable wear in a short period of time and low mileage on he tires.”
NHTSA complaint #10909408, filed 2016-09, 7,200 milesEngine cooling: “The contact owns a 2007 Honda vtx1300r. The contact stated that the vehicle was not running properly while driving 40 MPH. The dealer repaired the thal plug, which was covered under warranty. The vehicle began making a consistent humming sound and vibrated hard. The dealer stated that the spark plug needed to be replaced. At 150 miles, the vibrations continued to worsen and the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The failure mileage was 125 and current mileage was 247.”
NHTSA complaint #10235159, filed 2008-07, 125 milesFuel system: “While riding the bike noticed that there is fuel leaking from the fuel valve diaphragm. I have reported this to the Honda dealer ship for repair in allen tx but they stated there is no recall on this issue. Where as the NHTSA's website shows there is a recall. I will further report this to Honda.”
