NHTSA Complaint #10536474 — 2005 HONDA GL1800

I OWN A 2005 HONDA GL1800. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH OR WHAT ITS REFER TO "PARADE" RIDING, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO OVERHEAT AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INCREASES INTO THE HOT ZONE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO OPERATE. WHEN RUNNING AT IDLES SPEED WITH BIKE PARKED, IT RETURNS TO ITS NORMAL TEMPERATURE. I HAVE TAKEN THE BIKE TO SEVERAL HONDA SERVICE DEALERS AND THEY ALL TELL ME THE BIKE IS FINE. YET I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS OVERHEATING IN THE RED ZONE IN SEVERAL SITUATIONS. I EVEN CALLED HONDA DIRECTLY AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I THINK THEY KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH OLDER MODELS LIKE IN MY 2005. HONDA IN 2006 ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH LARGER FANS AND LARGER RADIATORS. I THINK HONDA SHOULD HAVE THIS CORRECTED BY MAKING THIS AS A RECALL AN UPDATE ALL MODELS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. *TR
