By signing this petition, I am acknowledging that my 2012/2013 Honda Goldwing GL1800 is experiencing a problem with engine hesitation. I consider this to be a serious quality issue as well as a safety concern. A motorcycle that looses power temporarily, at low speeds, can cause serious problem. I would like for Honda to address this issue and provide a resolution under warranty.

Serious hesitation between 1500 and 2000 rpm. Several instances of oncoming traffic swerving or braking hard to let me move forward after stall. He's completely shut off on several occasions

Bought a used 2012 from a large used bike dealer. Didn't no anything about this issue until I started looking for internet answers. Sure wish Honda would stand up for what "used" to be only known for it's 'highest' quality bike. Quality definition getting tarnished quickly with so many having this hesitation issue. I have it at all speeds when I'm not pouring on the throttle.

I have a 2013 F6B with 7,000 miles on it. Mine looses power and experiences hesitation. It worries me because it is not just me. My wife is on the back also.

I own a 2013 Goldwing Airbag model. When the engine is cold it hesitates but it gets better when it heats up. Dealer told me this was normal.

2013 Goldwing, under 4,000 miles showing same symptoms. Very hazardous pulling out into traffic, will almost quit at times.

The hesitation happens after the bike is stopped for a few minutes and then you start to go. This is very dangerous if you are turning or pulling out in traffic. The Goldwings are not new to me as I have been riding them sence 1975.

Bought my F6B 2013 new. Always had hesitation as described. Not worst today than it was in the first days ! (I live in Quebec, Canada)
