NHTSA Complaint #10242797 — 2004 HONDA CMX250C

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 HONDA REBEL DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. IT WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 15 MPH AND I KNEW I HAD THE DREADED 2004 CLUTCH PROBLEM. I BABIED IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA MOTORSPORT DEALER AND IT CURRENTLY SITS IN THEIR SERVICE AREA. ON THE WAY THERE I WAS ALMOST HIT NUMEROUS TIMES BY OTHER CARS NOT TO MENTION ALMOST FALLING WHEN THE INCIDENT FIRST OCCURRED. THEY TOLD ME THAT I WILL PROBABLY NEED A NEW CLUTCH. I REPLIED "MY BIKE ONLY HAS 5000 MILES! HOW COULD I NEED A NEW CLUTCH ALREADY?" HE SAID HE WASN'T SURE AND WOULD LET ME KNOW ONCE THEY WERE SURE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A FEW CARS ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER AND I AM HOPING THAT THIS ISN'T GOING TO COST ME ANYTHING. *TR
