What 1998 Honda V Series owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Front rotors keep going out every 3500 miles. Bad vibration hard to control in some areas of road. Factory keeps putting the same part back on motorcycle (rotors) which lasts another 3500 miles. I was told that they have alot of rotors in stock and are going to keep replacing them, instead of fixing the problem --whatever it is. I am now about to call the dealer about the problem again 05/25/99. It usually takes about a month of red tap and approval to get this done in which time the brakes get worse. Although I am a very experienced rider this is going to get me sooner or later. Please help.
Both rear view mirrors are mounted on stalks that are too short. The view to the rear is obsecured by the riders arms and elbows. To see clearly behind you, you must rotate your body far to one side or remove your hand from the handle bars.
