POWER TRAIN - MANUAL TRANSMISSION
07/09/20091
 On a 2007 honda goldwing motorcycle the transmission will randomly shift from 5th gear down into 4th. this causes a hazard to the rider and passenger as the shift causes a change in the position of the rider and corridor throwing the balance off. *tr

 The transmission on my 2007 gl1800 goldwing went out with 10875 miles on it honda refuses to cover the repairs because it was converted to a trike. the trike conversion could not have anything to do with fifth gear going out of it all other gear are fine. *tr

 Last year i complained about the transmission popping out of gear, when i took it in, i was told there was nothing wrong with it, and they could not look into the case unless it went out. this year it started to pop out of gear even more, and in july it popped out of gear again and took the transmission and drive shaft. it was repaired under warranty, but after the repairs i was told that honda had other complaints that were similar or doing the same thing, but they were not highlighting advertising it. in other words, they did nothing until it went out completely, and that occurred while i was driving it, it could have cause an accident with loss of power. *tr

 I have a 2007 honda goldwing with heated seats and handle grips. the heat element sometimes does not turn on, and sometimes it turns off after being switched on. i am told by the dealer that alot of owners complain about this, but honda says it is designed this way, which makes no sense, for sometimes it does not even turn it self on when activated. last year the replaced on of the heated hand grips, but still i have the same problem and honda does not want to address it. *tr
