SPEEDOMETER IS 8% FAST AND ODOMETER IS 6% FAST ,THE SPEEDOMETER BEING 8% FAST CAUSES A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING ON TURNPIKES AND INTERSTATES ( THIS IS A TOURING MOTORCYCLE). WHEN REPORTED TO HONDA I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA WAS WITHIN THE LEGAL LIMITS AND HAD NO INTENTION OF CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM. IS THERE A LEGAL LIMIT THAT A SPEEDOMETER CAN BE INCORRECT, EVEN IF IS A SAFETY PROBLEM?*AK

1. DEALER LISTED IS NOT THE SELLING DEALER 2. MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM EXISTS. 3. THIS IS SAFETY RELATED IN THAT IT OCCURS AT SLOW SPEEDS TYPICALLY IN CONGESTED TRAFFIC CAUSED BY ROAD CONSTRUCTION, ACCIDENTS AND HIGH VOLUME. IN CASES WHERE THERE IS NO PLACE TO GET OUT OF THE TRAFFIC OR STOP THIS COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. THIS COULD BE CAUSED BY ESCAPING STEAM FROM THE RADIATORS JUST IN FRONT OF THE RIDERS LEGS. OR IT COULD BE THE RESULT OF A FALL CAUSED BY ENGINE SEIZURE LOCKING UP THE DRIVE TRAIN CAUSING THE REAR WHEEL TO SKID. COMPOUNDING THIS WOULD BE THE SURROUNDING CONGESTED TRAFFIC MOVING BUMPER TO BUMPER AND MORE CONCERNED WITH THE HOLDUP INSTEAD

2001-10-25, Engine And Engine Cooling
DURING CONTINUED LOW SPEED OPERATION SUCH AS STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THIS MOTORCYCLE, ALONG WITH OTHERS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAS AN EXTREME TENDENCY TO SERIOUSLY OVERHEAT. THE MANUFACTURER CONTENDS THAT THE MACHINE WAS DESIGNED FOR OPERATION OTHER THAN STOP AND GO WHICH, OF COURSEE, IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS OFFERED NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM.*AK
