| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2001 honda gl1800 goldwing motorcycle. while in traffic, applied front brake several times aggressively. speeds were 20-30 mph. un-knowing that the left front fork shock seal failed, after the braking in traffic, & oil was pushed out of the fork shock. the oil covered the front tire & brake. pulling into the garage, when i applied the brake the front tire lost traction, due to the oil on the tire, & the motorcycle slipped & landed on it's side. the repair shop replaced only the left front fork shock seal. they showed me the old seal & there was no damage. i believe that the motorcycles front suspension anti-dive system is failing in the shock "lockup" position & the shock seal is being over pressured during the shock movement action. argued with the service supervisor & the honda motorcycle division 866-784-1870 from 10 am till 2 pm, & they are saying that there is no problem with the motorcycle & this is a isolated incident. *nm |
