I want to file a complaint about stuck/racing throttle/fuel injection problems occuring on 99-00' honda vfr interceptor 800fi motorcycles. I am sure that my bike had this problem. This problem almost cost me my life and made me get into a serious accident. After doing further research across the internet, I have come across two other reported incidents of this problem. One is almost exactly the same as the report that I gave honda insurance adjusters. I have contacted honda and they sent two gentlemen to my house to investigate my report. I orginally thought it was a stuck throttle, however, after looking into the incident further, I have come to the conclusion that it must be somewhere in the fuel injection because in both mine, and the other reported problems, the throttle inspected out ok. I want to file this complaint because I do believe that these bikes have the potential to continue to do this. I believe this problem needs to be addressed and so far honda has done nothing to address it. I believe it could be a serious safety problem, even though there haven't been a lot of reported cases yet. Here is the url to both of the reported findings I have come across so far: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~lists/archive/vfr/200004/msg00553.html http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~lists/archive/vfr/200107/msg01911.html my story is almost exactly like the second posted finding, however, it happened to me at the wrong time and I wasn't able to react due to the circumstances. I would appreciate if someone could contact me on this matter. I honestly believe that there may be lives at risk, especially as these bikes age. I am also in the process of contacting the man that wrote this posting so that I can see if his bike has had the problem since. I look forward to hearing from somebody soon.
