Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2001 honda gl1800 has a surging problem when engine rpm is 1400-1500 in any gear or just standing still. at a stand still if the throttle is held at 1400-1500 rpm the engine will oscillate between 1000 and 1500 rpm until the throttle is released. while driving at this rpm in any gear this problem will cause the sudden lose of engine rpm and then a surge back causing a dangerous situation especially when riding 2 up. it all started after the ecm was updated (10/01/03) for an overheating problem (recall). honda is aware of the problem but they are dragging their feet just as they did with the overheating problem. this is a safety problem. *jb
