What owners say
Motorcycle stumbles and hesitates during engine warmup. Problem creates a hazard situation if this happens in traffic. If you apply throttle before engine is at operating temperature while leaving a street light, stop sign or in traffic the motorcycle stumbles and hesitates. This situation can cause the vehicle behind the motorcycle to overrun the motorcycle cause an accident resulting in injury or even death.
I am having slow speed hesitation with the throttle while riding on the road. When I roll the throttle on the bike sometimes hesitates, does nothing so when I try more fuel the throttle control finally decides to start working and has made for some wild rides especially in turns. It is dangerous to have too much fuel added when not expecting it. This has been an ongoing problem for about a year now.
I was just starting from my house and had some hesitation in first and second gear. I made a right turn about a 1/4 mile down the road and again I had hesitation in first and second gear. Note, I do let the bike idle down before taken off. This 2016 with fuel injection this should not happen. Honda needs to something and make a recall.
My goldwing has the hesitation problem like so many others. I have almost dropped the bike a couple of times because of the stumble. It will hesitate and then the engine will suddenly get fuel again and lunge forward dangerously. If I would hit sand or gravel or be on a gravel road or gravel parking lot it would be a bad spin out and lose control and go down with damage to myself , my wife and the bike. It has happened many times so one date listed down below is not accurate. Bought the bike on dec 12,2015 with only 1685miles on it. Previous owner said it stumbled. My 1988 had the same problem and had a safety recall to fix it. Why not these newer goldwings?
On cold start-ups(even in the summer in florida), the motorcycle will stumble or hesitate until warmed up. This causes inconsistent and unpredictable throttle control in slow turns. I have nearly dropped the motorcycle multiple times and also have encountered pulling out in traffic and not having predictable throttle control to get going safely. Very dangerous!
Engine has a serious safety issue with severe hesitation to a momentary loss of complete power during cold operating temperatures and same severe problem on hot shut down and restart. Also hesitates at all times while driving but not as severe as first two. This is a serious safety issue in traffic and pulling out. This happens when pulling into traffic in city street and highway while turning and going straight.
Throttle surges and/or hesitates at slow speeds till engine warms up. Quite dangerous and could lead to crash.
On cold start motorcycle hesitates or motor stumbles causing rider to almost lose the bike( fall over) while exciting driveway . Seames to only stumble when cold.
