Consumer Description

THIS MOTORCYLE WILL RAPIDLY SHOW OVERHEATING TO THE REDLINE WHEN EXPOSED TO STANDARD URBAN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS SUCH AS 10-15 MPH CITY TRAFFIC. HAVE AS YET TO HAVE COOLANT OVERFLOW, BUT COOLANT OVER FLOW TANK IS LOACTED IN FRONT OF RAR WHEEL WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY IF COOLANT LEAK WENT ONTO PAVEMENT ON FRONT OF REAR TIRE. JUST WANTED TO GET MY NAME ON THE LIST OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS SPECIFIC PRONBLEM WITH THIS MODEL; SO MAYBE HONDA WILL GET IT TOGETHER AND LET US OWNERS KNOW OF AND ENACT A SOLUTION TO THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. MANY HAVE REPARTED DEALERS AND HONDA DENYING A PROBLEM EVEN EXISTS, SO I HOPE TO SHOEW THAT THIS CONDITION IS NOT AN ISOLATED FEW MACHINES IN A LARGE PRODUSTION RUN. THANKS, JOHN. *AK
