What owners report
1996 HONDA GL1500 ASPENCADE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING AS I AM OVERTAKING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND ALSO DRIVING UP INCLINES WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF WARNING WHAT SO EVER. NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED BY TRACTOR TRAILERS AND CARS AS I TRY MY BEST TO PUT ON THE 4-WAYS AND GET THE MOTORCYCLE OFF OF THE ROADWAY BEFORE I AM KILLED. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES BUT IT SEEMS THAT NO MATTER WHAT THE BIKE COMES OUT WORSE. I AM ALSO ENCOUNTERING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAVE SEEN LISTED IN ANOTHER COMPLAINT AND THAT IS DEALING WITH THE HYDRAULIC BRAKES. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE COMPLAINED THEY NEVER SEEM TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE BIKE IS SITTING THE BRAKES APPEAR
I BOUGHT A 1996 HONDA ACCORD COUPE W/91,000 MILES AND A VTEC ENGINE, IN MAY OF 2004 AND NOW ITS DEC 2004 I WAS TOLD THAT MY ENGINE IS GONE DUE TO A BALANCE SHAFT SEAL WITHOUT ITS RETAINER ATTACHED. WITHOUT THE RETAINER, THE BALANCE SHAFT SEAL CAME LOOSE AND MY OIL CAME OUT AND NOW I'VE BEEN TOLD BY TWO MECHANICS THAT MY ENGINE IS BAD. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN THE SPAN OF TWO DAYS.*AK
THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AT 81133 MILES WHILE DRIVING. I PULLED THE CAR OVER. ALL THE ENGINE OIL HAD SPILLED OUT OVER THE PREVIOUS MILE, IN A SCHOOL ZONE. A PARTICULARLY LARGE PUDDLE OF OIL WAS AT THE LAST STOP SIGN WHERE THE OIL LIGHT HAD COME ON. THE MECHANIC AT ANDERSON HONDA IDENTIFIED THAT THE BALANCE SHAFT SEAL HAD FAILED (POPPED OUT). TOTAL REPAIR COST $857, INCLUDING THE REQUIRED BALANCE SHAFT SEAL RETAINER. HONDA ADMITS TO HAVING A "SERVICE UPDATE" FOR THIS ISSUE FROM 09/2000 TO 01/2003. DURING THIS PERIOD HONDA NOTIFIED THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENTS TO INSTALL A BALANCE SHAFT SEAL RETAINER. SINCE 01/2003 HONDA HAD PROACTIVELY REMOVED INFORMATION REGARDING THE NEED FOR A BALANCE SHAFT
HELIX SCOOTER HAS TIRES THAT ARE J SPEED RATED(62MPH), HOWEVER BIKE CAN GO OVER 70MPH. MANUFACTURER SHOULD EQUIP BIKE WITH TIRES THAT MATCH THE SPEED CAPABILITIES.
