What owners report
The fuel system petcock of my 2007 Honda VTX1300 motorcycle leaks fuel when positioned "on", as well as " on reserverve". This poses a safety issue in the event that an ignition source is near. My motorcycle has been backfiring, not maintaining idle, and spits and sputters when taking off. The spitting and sputtering has been happening since I bought the bike in 2008. I attributed it to cold starts. Until recently, when I noticed the leaking fuel from the petcock. There are no warning lights to alert me this issue.
MY 2007 HONDA VTX-1300C HAS A WOBBLE WHICH IS ONLY NOTICEABLE WHEN DECELERATING FROM 50 MILES PER HOUR. I FOUND OUT THAT MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE HONDA VTX SERIES MOTORCYCLE HAVE HAD CHEAP BEARINGS PUT IN THE FRONT FORKS. USUALLY THE BAD BEARINGS WEAR OUT WITHIN A YEAR'S TIME, BUT SINCE I BOUGHT THE BIKE USED IN 2020 THIS PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED. THIS PROBLEM IS EASILY CORRECTED BY PUTTING IN TAPERED BEARINGS IN!
FRONT END WOBBLE UPON DECELERATION AT AROUND 30MPH. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL OWNERS OF LIKE MACHINES WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.
MY 2007 HONDA 1300 VTX DEVELOPS A VIOLENT WHEEL WOBBLE UPON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION AT AROUND 40MPH. THIS ISSUE WEARS TIRES AND IS VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO REACT TO THE PROBLEM.I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OTHER 1300 VTX OWNERS AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. HONDA DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AND DOES NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF PARTS AND REPLACEMENT OF FRONT TIRES WHICH SHOW UNREASONABLE WEAR IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND LOW MILEAGE ON HE TIRES.
UPON DECELERATION ABOVE 45MPH THE HANDLEBARS WILL SHAKE SIDE TO SIDE VIOLENTLY. THE LAST INCIDENT CAUSED A WRIST INJURY TRYING TO STOP THE SHAKING HANDLEBARS. MOTORCYCLE CAN BE TRAVELLING IN A STRAIGHT LINE OR IN A TURN TO DUPLICATE THE CONCERN. ANY ROAD SURFACE CAN BE USED TO DUPLICATE ISSUE. THIS CONCERN HAS NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH ON A FEW OCCASIONS. MOTORCYCLE HAS NOT BEEN RIDDEN SINCE LAST INCIDENT FOR FEAR OF CRASHING. DON'T WANT TO SELL THE MOTORCYCLE TO SOMEONE WITH SUCH A DANGEROUS ISSUE!
