HAVE A 2002 HONDA GOLDWING NEVER HADE ANY PROBLUMS AT ALL
MY F1 LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. SINCE MY GOLDWING IS A CONVERSION TO A TRIKE, THE KICKSTAND WAS FIXED AND IS INOPERABLE. ON THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY, TRIKE WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH AND SMELLED OF A VERY LEAN FUEL MIXTURE AND STALLING AT EVERY TRAFFIC LIGHT AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED. A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. I TOOK IT TO MY LICENSED HONDA MECHANIC AND HE KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT IT WAS THE COMPUTER. HE STATED IF I WOULD HAVE DRIVEN IT IN THAT CONDITION THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WOULD HAVE MELTED AND REALLY CAUSED PROBLEMS. ANOTHER UNSAFE CONDITION. MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE LOCATION OF THE O2 SENSOR BEING PLACED TOO FAR BACK IN THE EXHAUST IN 2001-2005 MODELS. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXE
