WHEELS
11/20/2001	4000	1	08/06/2001
	Since bike was new, the rear wheel bounces up and down from 10-60mph. on nov 20, 2001, i was turning left at an intersection when the bouncing rear wheel lost traction and slid sideways. my bike tipped over, crashed and slid on the ground. my left hand, arm, and left leg were injured. bike needed repairs to handlebars, pegs, turn signals. since then, i have had the tires balanced 3 times, purchased a new rear tire. yet i am still experiencing the bouncing problem! i've found out from other owners that this rear wheel bouncing problem occurs very frequently on their spirit 750 motorcycles as well!
WHEELS - RIM
11/20/2001	4000	1	08/08/2001
	There is a problem with defective rims on hondas shadow spirit 750 motorcycles! after 500 miles i noticed that my motorcycle bounced horribly from 20-60mph. when i brought my bike to a dealership to have the wheels balanced, we noticed there were already 6 lead weights on the rear wheel right from the factory since it was new! my bike continued to bounce! this bouncing caused me to crash my motorcycle on nov 20, 2001. i was turning left, going the speed limit, when i lost control of the rear end. the rear tire slid out from under me and the bike crashed and slid on its left side. my left hand and left leg were injured. a few months later i had my bike repaired. at aprox 6000 miles i purchased a new rear tire and had it professionaly balanced at chaparral motorsports in san bernardino, ca (a large, well-respected motorcycle dealership). when i rode away, i noticed the rear end bouncing again! they said that they balanced it on the best equipment available. i am a member of the spirit 750 discussion board... http://forums.delphiforums.com/spirit750/messages we found out from other fellow spirit 750 owners that this bouncing problem was very prevalent and was caused by defective rims on our new bikes right from the factory! i called honda's motorcycle customer service dept at (310) 532-9811. at first the customer service rep was relunctant and tried to dismiss my bouncing problem as a maintaince item or he blamed it on my tires. but when i informed him that i had been through two sets of tires and balancing, and that i knew for a fact that other spirit 750 owners were having the same problem as i was, he informed me of a secret goodwill program from honda! but that i first had to take my bike to a dealer to have it serviced on my own! honda is already aware of the defective rims on these motorcycles! this kind of bouncing will cause traffic accidents and death or serious injury to spirit 750 owners and their riders!
