What owners report
THROTTLE RESPONSE IS VERY JERKY AND DANGEROUS AT SLOW SPEEDS, THROWING DRIVER BACK ON ACCELERATION AND FORWARD WHEN THROTTLE IS ROLLED OFF. I GET THROWN INTO OPPOSING TRAFFIC WHEN STARTING INTO RIGHT HAND TURN FROM STOP ON TWO-LANE ROAD AND CANNOT DRIVE SLOWLY W/O JERKING FAST, THEN SLOW. THERE IS NO SLIPPING THE CLUTCH FOR CONTROL AND SLOW SPEED CANNOT BE MAINTAINED. EITHER IT IS ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING, BUT THERE'S NO EVEN, SLOW SPEED POSSIBLE.
AFTER A 2 HOUR RIDE (90 MILES) ON HIGHWAYS AND LOCAL ROADS, I NOTICED THE PIN THAT HOLDS THE RIGHT SIDE HINGE (LOOKING AT THE MOTORCYCLE FROM THE REAR) OF THE HONDA ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ACCESSORY "TOP BOX" CASE WAS PROTRUDING BY ABOUT 1 1/2" FROM ITS SOCKET. HAD IT MOVED ANY FURTHER, IT WOULD HAVE FALLEN OUT. HAD IT FALLEN OUT WHILE RIDING, THE TOP BOX CASE MIGHT HAVE BEEN BLOWN OPEN BY WIND FROM THE FRONT AND CAUSED A CRASH. I NOW CHECK ALL 6 HINGE PINS (2 ON THE TOP CASE AND 2 EACH ON THE SIDE PANNIERS) EVERY TIME I MOUNT THE BIKE. I FIND THE RIGHT TOP CASE PIN FREQUENTLY HAS SLIPPED OUT BY 1/4" ON A SHORT RIDE, AND I PUSH IT BACK IN WITH MY KEY. ALL 6 PINS ON THE TOP CASE AND 2 PANNIE
