FIRST THING IN MORNING VEHICLE STARTS TO ACCELERATE. WHEN PUTTING ON BRAKES TO STOP AT STOP SIGN, HAS NO BRAKES. BRAKES GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, BUT REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER.*AK CONSUMER ALSO STATES THAT THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AND BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED.*JB

THE CAM CHAIN TENSIONER HAS FAILED TWICE AND IS SCHEDULED TO BE WORKED ON A THIRD TIME. NO ACCIDENT (THANKFULLY) HAS HAPPENED YET. THE MECHANIC AT THE SHOP SAYS IT IS VERY POSSIBLE FOR THE CAM CHAIN TO 'JUMP TIME'. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT SAY 55MPH THE REAR TIRE OF THE MOTORCYCLE WOULD PROBABLY LOCK UP AND THEREFORE CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO THE RIDER. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NUMEROUS OWNERS OF THIS MOTORCYCLE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. HONDA NEED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE OF AN APPARENT DESIGN FLAW.*AK
