HONDA VT1100 2003 Power Train Manual Transmission Report #10010923
HONDA VT1100 2003 car safety problem was reported on Mar 15, 2003.HONDA VT1100 2003, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION . 2003 HONDA MOTORCYCLE SABRE 1100 CC. THE "PIVOT BOLT" AND "ACORN NUT" THAT HOLD THE SHIFT PEDAL AND LINKAGE IN PLACE COMES TOTALLY LOOSE AND VIRTUALLY FALLS OFF EVERY 50 MILES. THIS HAPPENED ON MY FIRST RIDE ON THE NEW MOTORCYCLE. TWENTY-FIVE MILES OUT, THE MOTORCYCLE WAS NOT SHIFTING RIGHT. I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THE SHIFT PEDAL HANGING BY THE LAST THREAD ON THE BOLT. I GOT OFF THE ROAD, USED THE HANDY TOOL KIT HONDA PROVIDES, AND TIGHTENED EVERYTHING UP. IF IT HAD COME ALL THE WAY OFF, IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT, AND WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE RENDERED THE MOTORCYCLE INOPERABLE, LEAVING ME STRANDED BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I ATTRIBUTED MY MISFORTUNE TO THE BOLT NOT BEING TIGHTENED PROPERLY DURING THE MANUFACTURING ASSEMBLY AND/OR DEALER ASSEMBLY. WHEN I GOT HOME, I DISASSEMBLED THE PEDAL, AND PROPERLY LUBRICATED AND REASSEMBLED THE PEDAL AND LINKAGE AS PER FACTORY SPECS. MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, 50 MILES LATER IT WAS HANGING BY THE LAST THREAD AGAIN. I CAUGHT IT JUST BEFORE IT FELL OFF. I NOW HAVE IT BOLTED ON USING A STANDARD "HARDWARE-STORE" SELF-LOCKING NUT. I RODE 150 MILES YESTERDAY WITH NO PROBLEM. I NOW THINK THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW OR ASSEMBLY ERROR IN USING THE WRONG TYPE OF BOLT AND NUT. I CANNOT BLAME IT ON SLOPPY ASSEMBLY AS IT CAME LOOSE AGAIN AFTER I METICULOUSLY ASSEMBLED EVERYTHING MYSELF. TO HAVE THIS CRITICAL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT CONSISTENTLY COME LOOSE IN 25-50 MILES OF RIDING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I AM SURE YOU WOULD AGREE. I AM SUBMITTING THIS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. I HAVE NOTIFIED HONDA AS WELL. *JB .Mileage was 25 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1HFSC43053A. Honda Vt1100 2003 problem was reported in FOGELSVILLE, PA. Original Owner.

My 94 GL 1500 sends off a vibration when you let off the gas...traveling at 80-90 +mph or so it will rumble until you slow to about 60 mph ....a little scary, it makes me think its going to lock up...I had a previous 94 gl that did the same thing my 2003 Honda Accord started with replacing power steering pump then power steering hose{recall} now I have a leaking power steering rack seems all connected to me should be a recall for the rack also?

Front struts make a hug the check engine light is staying on on my cbr1000rr 06. do you have to adjust the valves and fuel when you remove baffles from a 1995 honda 750 magna???? I have a Honda Civic DX and I wanted to change radio unit. How do I change or take the panel out. Is there a diagram that could help me? Thank you. I am having the same issue with our 2012 passenger seat. I also had the flooding issue with my spare tire compartment. I thought that maybe I had drug the back over something and created a hole. I had asked my repairman to look for a hole while he had the car in the air for an oil change and he coul '03 CIVIC steering wheel tilt lock getting loose, can I fix it or's it a Dealer issue?
