| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My speedometer is 11% off according to a certified (i believe) dynometer. i have spoken to honda na, motorcity powersports of bloomfield mi, & ge money several times regarding this issue to no avail. i believe this is a problem because i can likely become involved in an accident by going too slow because i don't know my correct speed. every time i have spoken to honda they have claimed it was within specs. first 5% was acceptable because that is what i thought at the beginning. then i was told 10% off was normal (again that was after i told them that i thought it was 10 miles off at 60 mph. i was even told that the motorcycle was designed that way to prevent operators from receiving tickets. after refusing to do anything about it i took the bike to a dealer that had a dynometer. at that time i was told it was off 11%, sent motor city a copy of the report, had the manager of the dyno shop call mcps while i was still there and still honda refuses to do anything about it because of the suspected costs involved. all i wanted was the speedometer repaired. i have to pay $10,000.00 for a motorcycle that was purchased for my wife, that we are afraid to operate because of this serious defect. *tr |
