 Motorcycle was driven to the local dealer for recall inspection for the rear brake cylinder. dealer performed inspection and informed me that the motorcycle passed inspection and could be picked up. approximately 1 mile after departing the dealership the motorcycle began feeling sluggish and i pulled to the side of the road. when the brakes were applied they were extremely grabby and upon stopping i noticed a strong brake odor. after pulling to the side of the road i inspected the motorcycle and found the rear brake disc very hot with a burnt brake odor along with visible scuffing to the brake disc. i returned the bike to the dealership and was informed that they could find no cause for the problem. i contacted american honda and reported the issue and was told they would look into the issue. the bike has been at the dealership for two weeks and there has been no action regarding the reported problem.

 I had driven a couple miles, came to a red traffic light and stopped. i returned the motorcycle to neutral and waited for the light to change. when the light changed, i shifted into first gear, went to take off, throttled and eased out on the clutch. the bike did not respond as i let out on the clutch. at this point the motorcycle typically is already accelerating and it was not. within a second it took off as if something suddenly released and rose into a wheelie. the bike then landed 3 times on top of me and dragged me through the intersection before stopping just past the middle of the intersection. there were witnesses to this accident as well. i sustained injuries from this and the bike did as well. i required major knee surgery and i am still recovering. the bike is in the shop still waiting for parts. the recall for the rear brake was announced less than a month after my accident. i have talked repeatedly to the representatives at the honda dealership that is handling the repairs asking for them to check on it for the recall since i have no explanation for what occurred to me. they are eluding that its not likely to be the issue but have no other explanation to offer.
STEERING

 The cycle has a front end wobble at speeds between 35-45. it requires that both hands are kept on the handlebars to avoid a crash. if i let go with one hand the wobble increases. i think the wobble increases the wear on the front tire and can also contribute to damage of other items. it is always uncomfortable especially going around corners where i have to fight the wobble with both hands. the front tire was changed and the steering bearings checked for tightness. all at my cost and the cycle still wobbles. *tr
