Owner report 10110485 · 2005-02-13 (February 13, 2005)
I AM EXPERIENCING A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE / FUEL INJECTION (?) SYSTEM ON MY NEW 2005 HONDA GOLDWING 1800. I HAVE NOTICED A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN THE WAY THE ENGINE RUNS. THERE IS A DECREASE IN RPM?S WHEN THE ENGINE ATTEMPTS TO MAINTAIN APPROXIMATELY 1500 RPM?S. AFTER THE ENGINE SLOWS TO APPROXIMATELY 1000 RPM?S, THE ENGINE SPEEDS UP TO 1500, BACK TO 1000, AND CONTINUES IN THIS CYCLE WHILE HOLDING THE THROTTLE STATIC. WHEN I AM AT A STOP AND THEN ATTEMPT TO MAKE A SLOW, TIGHT TURN BY USING THE ENGINE SPEED AT JUST ABOVE IDLE AN…

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. WHEN ACCELERATING AT TIMES, IT SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION COMES OUT OF GEAR. THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING WITHOUT MAKING ANY FURTHER MOVEMENT.*AK

I HAVE A NEW HONDA MOTORCYCLE (CBR 1000RR) AND THE SPEEDOMETER READS ABOUT TEN MILE PER HOUR FAST. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER SAID IT COULD NOT BE FIXED THAT ALL OF THE MOTORCYCLES ARE LIKE THAT. GOT ANY SUGGESTIONS. WILL HONDA IN JAPAN HELP? *NM

Owner report 10134258 · 2005-08-25 (August 25, 2005)
I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 HONDA VTX1300R MOTORCYCLE AND THE SPEEDOMETER AND PROBABLY THE ODOMETER ARE OFF (OVER) BY 10%. HONDA WILL NOT MAKE GOOD ON ANY REPAIR SO THAT THE SPEED/MILEAGE READING IS ACCURATE. THEY SAY THE 10% IS WITHIN THEIR TOLERANCES FOR ACCURACY. I WOULD LIKE THIS TI BE RECTIFIED.

Owner report 10135933 · 2005-09-08 (September 8, 2005)
FRONT STEERING WOBBLES ON MY 2005 HONDA GOLDWING GL1800 WITH ABS. THE WOBBLE HAS BEEN PRESENT FROM THE DAY I PICKED UP THE BRAND NEW BIKE FROM THE DEALER. THE WOBBLE IS HAPPENING BETWEEN 35 AND 45 MPH. THE WOBBLE CAN BE FELT BUT IS NOT SEVER WHEN HOLDING ONTO THE HANDLE BARS. IF YOU RELAX YOUR GRIP ON THE HANDLE BARS THE HANDLE BARS WILL BEGIN TO OSCILLATE BACK AND FORTH AND CAN BECOME SEVER IF LEFT TO DO SO. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL HONDA GOLDWING??S WILL HAVE A WOBBLE AND THAT THE MANUFACTURE WILL TELL YOU TO…

Owner report 10136068 · 2005-09-10 (September 10, 2005)
IN REFERENCE TO ODI#10135765. I JUST BOUGHT A NEW 2005 HONDA GL1800A MOTORCYCLE. FROM THE 1ST MILE THE FRONT END HAD A SEVERE WOBBLE. IF YOU TOOK YOU HAND OFF THE HANDLEBARS EVEN FOR A SECOND IT BECAME VIOLENT AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH. MY DEALER HAD TO INSTALL DIFFERENT FORK STEM BEARING (TAPERED VS BALL BEARING). THIS PARTIALLY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. HONDA THEMSELVES WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE FIT BECAUSE THEY SAID ALL THE GL1800A'S DO IT AND IT'S NORMAL. *JB

IN 2004 AND EARLY 2005 MODELS THE JUDDER SPRING HAS BEEN INSTALLED BACKWARDS FROM THE FACTORY. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THIS CAUSED MY CLUTCH TO FAIL AT 425 MILES IN MY 2005 HONDA REBEL. WHEN THIS FAILURE HAPPENED I WAS IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND NEARLY LOST MY LIFE. *JB
