NHTSA Complaint #10135933 — 2005 HONDA CMX250C

FRONT STEERING WOBBLES ON MY 2005 HONDA GOLDWING GL1800 WITH ABS. THE WOBBLE HAS BEEN PRESENT FROM THE DAY I PICKED UP THE BRAND NEW BIKE FROM THE DEALER. THE WOBBLE IS HAPPENING BETWEEN 35 AND 45 MPH. THE WOBBLE CAN BE FELT BUT IS NOT SEVER WHEN HOLDING ONTO THE HANDLE BARS. IF YOU RELAX YOUR GRIP ON THE HANDLE BARS THE HANDLE BARS WILL BEGIN TO OSCILLATE BACK AND FORTH AND CAN BECOME SEVER IF LEFT TO DO SO. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL HONDA GOLDWING??S WILL HAVE A WOBBLE AND THAT THE MANUFACTURE WILL TELL YOU TO KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE HANDLE BARS AT ALL TIMES TO PREVENT THE WOBBLE. I HAVE HAD OTHER MOTORCYCLES THAT DID NOT WOBBLE AT ALL AND FEEL THAT THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM IN THE HONDA GOLDWING. THIS IS IN SUPPORT OF ODI#10135765. *NM
