| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The anti-drive system is mal-functioning & hydraulically locking the left front fork shock. this is allows the shock to over pressure & fail the sealing lip seal. the oil then is pumped out during the shock operation & the oil is covering the front brakes & tires. this creates a loss of traction from the oil covered tires & limited braking due to the oil contaminated brakes. personally i have had two exactly the same left front shock seal failures. #1 failure the motorcycle slipped & laid down on the garage floor when stopping. #2 failure the motorcycle had the brakes cover with oil at a speed of 70 mph, & i noticed an increase in the stopping distance & had to use "down shifting" to aid in the stopping. honda is only replacing the lip seal, not replacing the brake pads, & giving the motorcycle back to myself with reduced braking. also, honda is not looking into the "root cause" of these failures. |
