That fuel valve recall should include the 2006 VT 750. Mine has done exactly the same thing and only has less than 750 miles on it. I have contacted Honda and was told it was not covered.
i have or had a 2007 vtx 1300c that caught fire in my driveway and there is no signs of foul play and the bike had not been started 3 days prior to fire
is there a list of VIN that we may consult on the web?
