| I have a 2002 honda goldwing. it has a recall for a over heating problem and a frame breaking problem. i do not at all feel safe on this motorcycle or would i if someone were to weld on an aluminum frame. this frame breakage is more than just something that will leave you standing beside the road. honda needs to be made to replace these bikes, not modify them. my frame is not broken but is under recall and i do not feel safe with or with out the fix. *la | |||

| Driver, passenger, and general motoring public safety is compromised with the honda gl1800 model motorcycle. engine temperature rises to an unsafe condition as indicated on the manufacturers temperature gauge when vehicle is driven at city speeds of less than approx. 30 mph, or when detained in stop and go congestion traffic with the same speed example. the condition severly distracts and impedes the safe operation of the vehicle and effects not only the driver and passenger but other motorist as well, when the motorcycle operator is trying to relocate themselves into a place that would allow engine temp. to return to normal ie: ( find a place to park, out of traffic, to allow the foward designed air flow of fans to return coolant temp to normal after time, or speed up enough to facilitate additional air flow thru radiators to allow engine temps to return to normal. ) either situation can and does place people in a dangerous unsafe situation. should the repeatable and predictable low mph high engine temp. reach the point of coolant overflow, either by not being able to relocate the machine to allow cooling as stated above, or go unnoticed by normal driving distractions, the drain tube is located in such a manner as to allow coolant to be expelled in the proximity of the rear tire, thus causing an additional unsafe condition whereby traction would be compromised. this model machine is safety compromised with its inability to properly deal with engine temperatures under normal everyday low speed, and or stop and go driving conditions at speeds below 30 mph. the potential situation(s) whereby someone is going to be injured or killed by trying to avoid or remedy high engine temperatures and or loss of traction due to engine coolant overflow at the speeds i have spoken about severly compromise the safe operation of these models.*ak | |||

| On the day that i bought my motorcycle i rode home through the mixmaster in dallas, tx at a time when, due to an accident, traffic was stop and go for many miles. i soon noticed my temperature guage rising to the hot point on the indicator. i pulled over and let the motorcycle cool down and waited for traffic to clear to procede home. i have not puut myself in the same or similar situation as yet although i could find myself there at any time. the over heating of the engine is a problem that honda will not address in a recall to repair the problem.*ak | |||

| When riding my goldwing between 5 and 15 miles an hour, the temperature guage quickly goes to full red and pins there until i stop or go faster. niether option is a safe one in todays traffic. if i were to boil over, the fluid will pour out in front of my rear tire causing an accident. this problem is wide spread and honda has done nothing to fix it in the three years they have been making this goldwing.*ak | |||

| When operating motorcycle in heavy traffic or other slow operating condtions, between 10-18 miles per hour, the temperature will immediately rise into the red zone causing sever overheating conditions. the overflow tank will then deposit antifreeze on the ground, ahead of the rear tire. on a motorcycle this can be a deadly condition. honda denies problem exists and advises riders to either ignore gauge or do not ride under those conditions. this is completly unacceptable and the honda motorcycle company should recall and repaior this dangerous condition.*ak | |||

| Temperature gauge rises whenever motorcycle is driven at slow speeds, regardless of outside temp. driving in 1st or 2nd gear through a neighborhood or a county park causes temp gauge to rise toward red danger mark. driving through mountains, steep uphills with no place to pull over, temp gauge rises to red mark. owner's manual says to pull over if temp gauge rises to red mark. this is not always possible without possible injury if there is no place to pull over without stopping traffic or falling off edge of road if there is no shoulder. coolant can spill out from overheating, causing rear tire to skid or slip, causing injury of rider or passenger.*ak | |||

| This motorcycle pegs the temperature gauge in the red whenever it is in slow moving traffic. it has overflowed coolant on one occasion. this is very scary and unsafe due to the coolant overflow being in front of the rear tire. honda of america refuses to admit this is a problem and will not repair it. i have read many many reports of the same problem with other owners of the same vehicle. it seems to be an inherent problem with this model supose it will take someone having an accident before honda will take notice. i hope not.*ak | |||

| Numerous times the engine has overheated at 15 mph. it is sometimes very dangerous when you can't get out of heavy traffic to prevent overheating. if you can't get out of heavy traffic the temperature continues to climb until it dumps coolant on the ground, which of course is very dangerous on a motorcycle. i have had this problem since i purchased the unit in july of 2001. i have had it repeat the overheating several times a day up to several weeks in a row. it is time they do something to make the motorcycle safer to ride. any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated by myself and many other owners who are faced with this same problem. thank you. dt | |||

| This motorcyle will rapidly show overheating to the redline when exposed to standard urban traffic situations such as 10-15 mph city traffic. have as yet to have coolant overflow, but coolant over flow tank is loacted in front of rar wheel which could cause injury if coolant leak went onto pavement on front of rear tire. just wanted to get my name on the list of people who have had this specific pronblem with this model; so maybe honda will get it together and let us owners know of and enact a solution to this potentially dangerous problem. many have reparted dealers and honda denying a problem even exists, so i hope to shoew that this condition is not an isolated few machines in a large produstion run. thanks, john. *ak | |||

| The traffic conditions warranted speeds under 20 mph max, with little stopped time. motorcycle indicated overheated condition but did not spill coolant. engine is entirely made of aluminum and will eventually fail if constantly subjected to overheated conditions. this is due to a defect in the design of the coolant system. the cooling fans cannot overcome ducted air when the bike is run between 10-35 mph for continual periods.*ak | |||

| My apologies for not reporting sooner. after the incident within a few hundred miles of buying the motorcycle new, cooling system overheating has happened numerous times. the first was most dangerour in that i was going up mt washington on a very narrow road. near the top i finally exceeded temperature redline in spite of using all recommended procedures. the manual said to stop and let fans cool. on a 12' wide road with no barrier to going over, this was difficult. i kept having to do this. finally had to turn around on dirt portion trying to balance m/c while doing u-turn at walking speed-forward, back, forward, until turned around. nearly lost balance several times in front of cars anxious to pass. in boston commuter traffic, it happens whenever congested with speeds 15-20 mph for more than a few minutes. very nerve-racking to be watching guage head for red and maneuver toward breakdown lane side as it gets to redline to preserve warranty in midst of angry traffic. otherwise, manual says we void warranty by mistreating. report to dealer resulted in mfr saying not designed for those traffic conditions. dealer said cooling system checked out perfectly. continues to happen regularly in hot and heavy traffic. if overheating is only when coolant comes out (according to mfr), then slippery coolant dumps straight to rear tire. can't afford to test traction! *ak | |||

| Engine overheats when travelling at low speed -- about 10- 15 mph. i have taken the bike to the dealer three times as well as called honda and they cannot fix it. when motorcycle is overheated, you have to stop or run the risk of ruining the engine. since this occurs in traffic conditions, it is very dangerous to stop, sometimes impossible. if you don't stop and the engine seizes, that will be even a greater danger. i have been told that it is not really overheating but merely a gauge problem. however, the motorcycle clearly is running very hot which causes other problems such as surging, difficulties shifting, difficulties in accelerating, etc. it is my understanding that this problem has existed in the 2001 models as well.*ak | |||

| I have an over heating problem with my gold wing motorcycle. dealer has done all he can do to resolve the problem. he has been great. bike will give a indication of overheating by the temperature dial going into the red or hot zone. has been reported to honda as the dealer says he can do nothing more for me. i have lost coolant fluid on 2 occasions. response to me from honda is that the bike will do that and to drive it and not worry about it unless there has been fluid loss. it occurs when driving at 10-15 mph in slow moving traffic. once speed goes up to 30 mph or so, gauge will slowly come down. have also been told by honda that when it occurs that i should pull over and let bike cool down. many other 01-02 gold wings have this problem and the other oners are given the same answers that i got. if there is coolant lost it goes down overflow tube directly in front of rear wheel and is a safety hazard. also in many places you cannot just pull over and stop due to lack of shoulders and traffic conditions. this is a known problem among gold wing owners. honda refuses to admit there is a design problem. fans blow air out front of bike until speeds reach 15 mph than fans turn off. if you are driving at 15 mph in slow moving traffic and there is a 15 mph tailwind there is no air flow and bike overheats. if you are on a hill and due to traffic are forced to remain in 1st gear, bike will overheat in about 5 minutes can be duplicated on any 01-02 honda goldwing.*ak | |||

| At speeds between 15-25mph over a constant 5 to 10 minutes period (traffic situations) results in the overheating condition (the guage reads in the red zone). i am concerned because if the an overheat condition results in the bike discharging anti-freeze, it is discharged in front of the rear tire which could cause reduced road traction. this condition is causing riders to pull to the side of the road in sometimes dangerous situtations. honda response is to ignore the gauge and ride on even though the owners manual says otherwise.*ak | |||

| These new generation honda gl1800 goldwings (2001-2002) appear to have a congenital design defect in the engine cooling system. the engine has two side mounted fans that are controlled to come on when the bike is travelling at 15mph or slower because the rush of ambient air is too slow to cool the engine by itself at those slow speeds. the problem exists when the bike is traveling between approximately 16 mph and 25 mph. the speeds in between the point where the fans are controlled to kick in (15mph or below) and the point where the ambient air is flowing over the engine fast enough to cool it without the assistance from the fans. (25mph) after about 10-15 minutes of driving in these conditions such as one regularly finds in heavy slow moving traffic, the temperature gauge starts to rapidly climb into the red danger zone. boilover can occur depending upon whether one immediately pulls the bike to the side of the road to let it cool,(which can be very dangerous on urban expressways) or find a way to get on to another road somehow where speed can be increased to cool it down. the cooling system does an adequate job in all other circumstances i've encountered so far...outside of what occurs from being in these conditions that require an ongoing speed of between 16-25 mph. to this point, honda seems content to dismiss the issue as not being a problem. they need to thermostatically trigger when the fans come on, based on temperature not speed of travel, just like the design they had on previous generations of goldwing motorcycles. they worked just great.*ak | |||
