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.
ReplyDeletei 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
ReplyDeleteis there a list of VIN that we may consult on the web?
ReplyDeleteMy 2004 VTX 1300 Petcock is leaking fuel, the valve Diaphragm is also defected. why has Honda not placed the 2004 VTX on the Recall notice?
