I WAS AT MY HONDA MOTORCYCLE DEALER TODAY FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE DEALER IS OCALA MOTOR SPORTS IN OCALA, FLORIDA. THEY STATED THAT PARTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST RECALL ON MY MOTORCYCLE. THE DATE OF THE FIRST RECALL WAS NOV. 19, 2004. IT WAS NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 04V549000. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO SUBSEQUENT RECALLS SINCE THEN MAKING IT A TOTAL OF THREE RECALLS, THE LATTER TWO BEING 04V568000 & 05V010000. I THINK THAT THREE MONTHS IS A TOTALLY UNREASONABLE TIME FRAME TO EVEN RESPOND TO THE FIRST RECALL. WHEN YOU PAY OVER $13,000.00 FOR A MOTORCYCLE, YOU DON'T EXPECT IT TO BE PARKED FOR 3 MONTHS.

THERE ARE A GROUP OF WIRES THAT RUN UNDER THE SEAT LATCHING MECHANISM AND UNDER THE TOP GAS TANK THAT RUB AND FRAY. DUE TO THIS ISSUE BEING TALKED ABOUT ON THE ST 1300 CHAT ROOM I CHECKED MINE. THE INSULATION WAS STARTING TO FRAY FROM THE RUBBING ON THE LATCHING MECHANISM. IF THE WIRES WERE TO SHORT THE POWER COULD BE SHUT OFF TO THE BIKE CAUSING A CRASH AND INJURY OR DEATH.*AK

2003 MODEL ST1300 MOTORCYCLE. ENGINE QUIT ABRUPTLY AT 75 MPH. IF VEHICLE WAS LEANED INTO TURN OR IN TIGHT PASSING SITUATION SUBSTANTIAL INJURY OR DEATH WOULD PROBABLY RESULT. A VISIT TO THE ST1300 POST YIELDED THE FACT THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE DUE TO THE ROUTING OF A BLACK AND A WHITE WIRE IN PROXIMITY OF THE UNDERSEAT FUEL TANK WHICH ABRADES THRU THE INSULATION CAUSING A SHORT WHICH IN TURN CAUSES THE FUEL PUMP FUSE TO BLOW AND SHUTS DOWN THE MOTOR.*AK
