NHTSA complaint #10091002, filed 2004-09, 59,400 miles“The rear flange out- put bearing in my 2002 Honda vtx r 1800 is making a grinding sound. I have read on numerous Honda owner chat sites that this is a recurring problem in significant numbers. Honda motorcycle corp is not taking any action to alleviate the problem. If this comes apart at any speed it could cause a very serious accident.”
