| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a new 2004 honda rebel in march of 2004. i currently have 1700 miles on the bike. ever since the first 700 miles or so, i have noticed some issues with the clutch. the problems i have are, hard to find neutral, miss shifts between 1st and 2nd and 2nd to 3rd, clutch slippage at speeds of 45mph on and off, and having the bike try to move forward while in 1st with the clutch lever pulled in. i had the dealer look at it, and they adjusted the clutch cable. they were not aware of any issues with the 2004 bikes having to do with the clutch. i asked if they could call honda to check on this issue, and was told "not unless your clutch fails" the clutch adjustment did not change anything. i have two concerns 1. i am having the same symptoms as other owners of a 2004 rebel that have had their clutches fail this is documented at a rebel online message forum called http://www.surfmaine.com/rebel forum/ a search of the board with the values "2004 clutch" , selecting with all terms selection will display the messages. 2. i live in the northeast, have put the bike away for the winter. i will put it back on the road in the spring, but at that point, my 1 year warranty will have expired and will not be covered if/when my clutch fails. i believe that honda should issue a recall of the 2004 rebel to inspect and replace the clutch assembly, based on the number of reports that i have read on the clutch failure problem, and the problems i am having with early clutch failure symptoms thank you. *ak |
