I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA 919 (CB900F5) MOTORCYCLE.

TAKATA RECALL - LOCAL HONDA DEALER WAS CALLED. ADVISED THAT THEY HAD NO PARTS AND WOULD NOT SCHEDULE A REPAIR DATE. PROVIDED NO RENTAL CAR OR FUTURE DATE FOR PART AVAILABILITY. STATED THAT FOCUS IS IN SOUTHERN STATES DUE TO THE HEAT. I FEEL THAT SERVICE ORDERS SHOULD BE COMPLETED ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS RATHER THAN GEOGRAPHIC. OUR TEMPERATURES ON CHARLOTTE IN THE SUMMER ARE NO LESS THAT IN THE SOUTH.

Incident: September 7, 2009 · Filed: September 7, 2009

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA 919 (CB900F5) MOTORCYCLE. THE HIGH-MOUNTED (COMPLETELY STOCK) EXHAUST SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE POORLY DESIGNED, GIVEN THAT A LARGE AMOUNT OF EXHAUST IS PULLED BACK INTO THE RIDERS CLOTHING AND HELMET, ESPECIALLY AT MODERATE (CITY) SPEEDS. MY CLOTHING ACTUALLY SMELLS OF EXHAUST (VERY STRONGLY) AFTER A SHORT RIDE. THE SITUATION FOR THE PASSENGER IS MUCH WORSE, TO THE POINT THAT SICKNESS (HEADACHE AND BURNING EYES) DEVELOPS QUITE QUICKLY. MY HONDA 919 HAS ABSOLUTELY NO EXHAUST LEAKS, AND IS IN PERFECT TUNE. I SEARCHED THE WEB (USING THE SEARCH STRING "HONDA 919 EXHAUST SMELL"), AND LEARNED THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM, SOME RESORTING TO ADAPTING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT (LOW-MOUNTED) EXHAUST SYSTEM TO THE MOTORCYCLE. GIVEN THE DANGER INVOLVED, IN MY VIEW, HONDA SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE VIA A RECALL THAT INVOLVES CHANGES TO THE EXHAUST. (FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, HONDA HAS REPEATEDLY REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM WHEN CONTACTED DIRECTLY BY CONSUMERS.) *TR
