Consumer Description

IN AUGUST 2012 PURCHASED FROM ORIGINAL OWNER THE MOTORCYCLE IN QUESTION. DRIVING HOME THE BIKE STALLED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY (LUCKY FOR ME WITHOUT INJURY). ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2012 THE BIKE STALLED ONCE AGAIN ON THE ROAD AND UPON VISUAL INSPECTION I NOTICED GAS WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL VALVE AND CARBURETOR AREA. I HAD THE BIKE TOWED AND IT IS PRESENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS. I NOTICED HONDA HAD A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM ON 2007 AND 2008 MODELS. I KNOW THAT THE AUTO INDUSTRY USES PARTS THAT WERE PRODUCED IN PRIOR YEARS ON NEWER MODELS AND I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT IN THE MOTORCYCLE INDUSTRY IT IS THE SAME.I CONTACT HONDA AND THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT THIS. I AM WONDERING HOW MANY MORE BIKES HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM? THE TWO MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES ARE STALLING WHEN RIDING AND GAS LEAKING ON THE ENGINE CAN IGNITE. CAN YOU HELP? *TR
