Consumer Description

VEHICLE OVERHEATED, IN SLOW TRAFFIC, DOING DAMAGE TO O2 SENSORS, RESULTING IN REDUCED GAS MILEAGE OF 26 - 32 MPG, WHICH IS 10 - 12 MPG BELOW ORIGINAL MILEAGE AND OTHER GL1800'S I RIDE WITH. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER BOTH KNOW OF THE PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT REPLACE THE O2 SENSORS UNLESS THE FI LIGHT ON THE DASH COMES ON. FUEL MILEAGE SHOULD BE A CONCERN TO MOTORCYCLE MFRS. JUST AS IT IS WITH CARS. NOW I GET MILEAGE THAT IS NEAR WHAT MY 3200 LB., V6, 200HP SEDAN DOES AND HONDA THINKS THIS IS OK?
