| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Engine overheats when travelling at low speed -- about 10- 15 mph. i have taken the bike to the dealer three times as well as called honda and they cannot fix it. when motorcycle is overheated, you have to stop or run the risk of ruining the engine. since this occurs in traffic conditions, it is very dangerous to stop, sometimes impossible. if you don't stop and the engine seizes, that will be even a greater danger. i have been told that it is not really overheating but merely a gauge problem. however, the motorcycle clearly is running very hot which causes other problems such as surging, difficulties shifting, difficulties in accelerating, etc. it is my understanding that this problem has existed in the 2001 models as well.*ak |
