NHTSA Complaint #11074621 — 2014 HONDA GL1800C

I HAVE HAD THIS SYMPTOM HAPPEN MAYBE 5 OR 8 TIMES. I CANT REPRODUCE IT AT WILL. WHEN SLOWING DOWN RAPIDLY IN A LOW GEAR, 2ND OR 3RD, THE TRANSMISSION DISCONNECTS! I HAVE NO ENGINE BRAKING AND RPMS DROP TO IDLE. AND IT IS NOT A SMOOTH FEELING. LIKE IT WILL GRAB AND THEN RELEASE. FEELS LIKE IT IS JUMPING OUT OF GEAR, AND BACK INTO AND BACK OUT OF GEAR FAST. WHEN I GIVE IT GAS IT ACCELERATES NORMALLY SOMETIMES. OTHER TIMES I WILL HAVE TO SHIFT BACK INTO A GEAR. I CAN NOT REPRODUCE THIS WHEN I TRY. I DONT WANT TO TAKE IT IN SINCE IT IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE AND INFREQUENT IN HAPPENING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE SLOWING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC. AND TO EXPERIENCE NO POWER TO GO IS DANGEROUS! THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE HONDA HAS HAD WITH THE GL1800 TRANSMISSIONS BEFORE, COMMONLY REFEREED TO AS GHOST SHIFTING. ALL MAINTENANCE IS UP TO DATE. BIKE HAS APROX 19000 MILES AND HAS DONE THIS 5 OR 6 TIMES SINCE NEW.
