| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2003 honda vtx 1300 s retro. i first noticed the front end wobble at 450 miles on the odometer. it starts between 38 to 45 miles per hour. you can really notice it when you hold a constant speed of 40 miles per hour. at this speed the handle bars shake right in your hands. if you increase the speed to 50 and let go of the bars you can see the bars shake back and forth with about 5 to 8 inches of side to side play until you get down to around 35 mph. even with your hands on the bars you can feel the side to side motion at these speeds. i took it to my dealer and he said he never heard about it and then he took off the front wheel and checked the weights on the tires and trueness. he added more weights and it still did it. i know have 2600 miles on this bike with the problem still here. i took it to 2 other honda dealers and they will not even look at it because i did not buy it there but they said any other problems other than that they can " help " me with. the more miles that gets on this bike the worse it gets. i am not the only one that is having this problem. everyone that i talk to that has this type of bike is having this problem.*ak |
