Power Train · reported Jun 23, 2022
While riding my Honda CTX 700 DCT, I lost all engine power, on two occasions. The second was after the Honda Certified Dealer said they repaired it. The first incident was while city riding at 25MPH, and the second was during dense highway traffic at 60MPH. I was barely able to safely pull to the side of the road on momentum alone. If the cars around me were any less attentive, I could have been struck, causing injury or death. I have received conflicting information from both the dealer, and Honda Corporate. They claim that the fault was a computer issue caused by too much oil, or a loose…

Steering · reported Apr 24, 2015
After I rode the bike for a while, it became obvious because of handlebar misalignment that something wasn't right. The handle bars are tilted to the right quite a bit. My investigation determined that it is a problem of rear axle alignment. The rear tire must be adjusted to a mismatch of hash-marks on each side in order to achieve a straight riding track. I also experienced shaking in the bike at speeds greater than 45 MPH. Taking the bike to two different dealers and contacting honda customer service has not provided any fixes or acceptable responses. I do not feel that I should be forced to…

Steering · at 2 miles · reported Apr 15, 2015
As delivered and with the rear axle aligned equally on the hash marks on each side of the swingarm, the rear tire does not track in the same path as the front tire. Similarly, the rear sprocket is misaligned with the chain. In order to correct this, the rear axle must be misaligned according to the hash marks. Doing so corrects the alignment of the front and rear tires and also aligns the rear sprocket with the chain. However, the amount of axle shift required is enough that I AM concerned the axle may not hold securely hold this position, meaning it could slip while under way. Cocking the…
