| Instrument gauge face plate melting due to direct sun light. speedometer, tachometer, and fuel/temp gauge are affected by this condition which results in erratic readings. the motorcycle is a 2006 and still under warranty, however, the company will not honor the warranty. i have not replaced the gauges yet. in december 2001 a service bulletin was issued for replacement gauges for this same condition (service bulletin gl1800 #8). i first noticed the tachometer giving erratic readings in july 2008, at which time i contacted the repair shop. i do have digital pictures of the affected gauges. this defect could cause an accident resulting in injury or death. *tr | |||

| I was accelerating in the entrance lane on the interstate. auto and truck traffic was heavy and as i merged into the traffic lane the motorcycle shifted from 5th gear to fourth and back surprising me and causing me to quickly slow and take action to the right to avert being rear ended by a semi truck. the truck had nowhere to go as the lane to his side was occupied. i proceeded to gain speed and the motorcycle did the same shifting action every mile or so. i took the cycle to the dealer and was told it was not under warranty. i am at present having the transmission repaired at my cost. there were no warnings prior to this episode. the mechanic said there were several failed components in the transmission. | |||

| While riding at approximately 50 mph in 5th gear proceeding normally i felt the transmission 'clunk' as though the transmission had slipped out of gear. then a loud 'clunkety clunk' as the engine seems to now rev free, then a 'clunk' as the transmission 'fell' back into gear. at no time during this event, which took place over a period of 2-3 seconds were my fingers touching either the brake or clutch, nor was my foot touching the brake or shifter. the balls of my feet were planted on both footpegs during the entire event. *tr | |||
