2004 Honda ST1300A recalls

Recall 05V-010: Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Reported Jan 24, 2005 · 36,046 vehicles affected · HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.)

Problem: Certain motorcycles equipped with combined-brake systems have a proportioning control valve (Pcv) that mechanically proportions brake force when the rear brake is applied. A seal in some pcvs is improperly shaped, and brake fluid leakage may occur.

Risk: If the motorcycle continues to be used after a leak occurs, the rear brake would eventually become inoperative. A loss of rear brake force could increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the rear brake forleakage. If leakage is confirmed, the dealer will replace the pcv free of charge. The recall began on january 31, 2005. Owners may contact honda at 866-784-1870.

Reported Dec 9, 2004 · 4,345 vehicles affected · HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.)

Problem: On certain motorcycles, the main wire harness has a ground distribution connector that is incorrectly assembled. Some electrical circuits may overheat and short, including the fuel pump.

Risk: If the fuel pump stops working, the engine will stall without warning, which could cause a crash.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the ground distribution connector for overheating damage. If any damage is found, the wire harness will be replaced. If no damage is found, the connectors will be assembled properly. The recall began on december 8, 2004. Owners should contact honda at 866-784-1870.

Motorcycle demonstrated once before the boiling of fuel in full fuel tank after driving. A couple of weekends later I decided that I would remove the fuel from the tank because I believed that the gas may have contained too much alcohol which may boil at a lower temperature. I removed all but about 2 gallons out of the 7.7 gallon tank. I rode to a fuel station and refilled to about 3/4 of an inch below the full mark. I left some expansion space due to the hot weather. The operating temperature of the bike was normal as always. Upon returning home I stopped the bike outside of the enclosed…
