What 2007 Honda VT750 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
About two months ago, my husband was cleaning my bike when he noticed some discoloration on the engine. Upon investigation, he found that the fuel valve on the gas tank was dripping gasoline. He contacted honda motorcycle customer service twice and both times was told my motorcycle was not included in the recall and that the recall was vehicle identification number (VIN) specific. Due to the obvious safety concerns, I went ahead and ordered a new oem part on-line and paid for it. My husband spent two hours this weekend replacing the defective part. I consider leaking gasoline onto a hot engine a major safety concern. I also feel a recall for such an issue should not be VIN specific. If this leak had not been caught when it was, it could have easily erupted into a full blown fire seriously injuring me or my husband as well as any innocent bystanders. I ask that someone please contact the honda corporation and see if they will expand their recall.

Petcock is leaking gasoline on the gas tank. Dealer and manufactuer says not in recall. Say must be repaired with new diaphram.
When I ride my motorcycle to work (18 miles) and park it in direct sunlight, it drips gas for 2-3 hours in the afternoon. A puddle of fuel forms under the bike. Today I measured the puddle and it was approximately 3.5 inches by 6 inches. I have taken the bike to my local honda dealer 3 times and the problem continues. The first time was supposed to be for the factory recall to be performed to replace the defective fuel valve.
Approximately 2 months ago, I received a recall notice regarding the fuel diaphragm on my honda motorcycle. My dealer has not been able to get the parts for this repair.
New motorcycle purchased 5/14/07 at metro power sports, canton mi. From delivery-on have complained of noise in motor, play in clutch and mostly the "ride" of the machine. The tires "skip/hop" as the bike is driven @ 25 MPH and above. Numerous tech's have driven the bike and agree there is something wrong. The first attempt to correct the problem was to replace the tire - no change. Next it was taken to a different honda dealer, where their attempt to correct the problem was to add multiple weights to the wheel. Before they proceeded with the repair, however, a rep from corporate honda came out to inspect the motorcycle and claimed the bike was perfectly fine. This is a brand new (2007 model) motorcycle and should not have these defects. Between the clutch and the wheel hops it feels dangerous to ride. I am afraid when the wheel jumps the motorcycle will slide out from under me. I am an experiences rider and have driven used bikes that ride much better than this. I have documented the attempts we have made to get repairs accomplished and have been unsatisfied with the results. I should not have these problems with a brand new product. Please note: your selections under tires do not conform to the type on the motorcycle. The numbers from the tires are as follows-- exedra g702 160/80-15 m/c 74s tubetype t0602 dot enfi cad 1207 e4 75r-0000896.
