What owners report
THE HONDA GL1800 HAS EXHIBITED A BRAKING PROBLEM SINCE 2001. SOMETIME, WHEN USING THE REAR BRAKE, A SHUDDERING TAKES PLACE THAT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. IT IS ENOUGH TO SHAKE THE WINDSHIELD AND MIRRORS. IT CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE REAR BRAKE PEDAL. IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN IN HOT WEATHER. THERE ARE FORUMS FOR THE GL1800 AND THEY ALL HAVE MANY POSTS OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING IT ON DIFFERENT YEAR MODELS. MANY HAVE TAKEN THEIR MOTORCYCLES TO THE DEALERS WHILE UNDER WARRANTY (INCLUDING MYSELF). A WIDE VARIETY OF FIXES HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED WITH NOTHING REALLY FIXING THE PROBLEM. HONDA'S AREA SERVICE TECH SAID THE REAR BRAKE DISC ROTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE.
