| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The problem is that the bike overheats beyond red line & loss of coolant occures when the bike is operated b/t 15& 25 mph for a period of 5 min. or more in heavy traffic or other reason. the loss of coolant occurs at the front of bike which means the wheel will likely pass thru which is unsafe. also it is potentially damaging to the engine. have discussed the problem with my servicing dealer and they state that honda doesn't admit the problem exists.the apparent cause of the problem is that the cooling fans are designed to go off at 15 mph regardless of engine temp. & the bike is not moving fast enough to cool by natural air flow. the problem is big enough that a class action suit is being started. thank you for any help you can bring forth. gordon dt |
