2005 HONDA GL1800 — Complaint #666556

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:MOTORCYCLE:KICKSTAND/CENTER STAND filed April 21, 2008

NHTSA complaint #666556 (ODI reference 10225223) concerns a 2005 HONDA GL1800 and was filed on April 21, 2008. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 16, 2008. The report was geocoded to Washington based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:motorcycle:kickstand/center stand, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA GL1800 cohort independently describe similar structure:motorcycle:kickstand/center stand failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2005 HONDA GL1800 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

I RIDE A 2005 GL1800 THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN NOVEMBER OF 2004. I HAD A MEETING IN TOWN TO ATTEND AND THE WEATHER BEING REASONABLE NICE AND THE ROADS DRY, I DECIDED TO RIDE. I GOT TO THE PARKING LOT AND SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN WITH THE SIDESTAND FIRMLY IN PLACE. WHEN I STOOD UP ON THE PEGS TO DISMOUNT AS I HAVE DONE MULTIPLE HUNDREDS OF TIMES IN THE PAST, THE RIGHT PEG SNAPPED OFF JUST ABOVE THE HINGE POINT. INITIALLY I WAS JUST ANNOYED AT THE INCONVENIENCE OF HAVING TO GET IT REPAIRED, BUT THEN I STARTED THINKING OF ALL THE TIMES IN THE LAST 3+ YEARS AND ALMOST 23000 MILES THAT I HAVE PUT MY WEIGHT ON THE PEGS WHILE ON THE ROAD. RAISING UP TO TAKE A ROAD SHOCK ON MY THIGH MUSCLES INSTEAD OF MY BUTT, ADJUSTING MY POSITION ON THE SEAT OR EVEN STANDING UP TO STRETCH MOMENTARILY. I WAS ABLE TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE HOME SAFELY AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET. THE SERVICE MANAGER LOOKED AT THE BROKEN PEG AND HE SAID THAT DUE TO THE VISIBLY POROUS NATURE
