SO I RODE DOWN HWY 124 IN SNELLVILLE GA.AND STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND SOMETHING UNDER THE SEAT ON THE RIGHT SIDE BLEW UP AND IT WAS A BIG WHITE SMOKE COMIING FROM IT...

I GOT IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME AND THE REAR BRAKE ROTOR WAS EXTREMELY HOT. I PUT THE MOTORCYCLE ON THE CENTER STAND AND TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL AND I COULD NOT TURN THE REAR WHEEL BY HAND. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND CONCLUDED IT WAS CAUSED BY THE SECONDARY MASTER CYLINDER LOCATED ON THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER. https://plaincars.com/make/honda-st1300a https://plaincars.com/make/honda-st1300a#complaint-1106896 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 00:00:00 GMT THE POOR DESIGN OF THE SECONDARY MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER (SMC), WHICH APPLIES THE REAR BRAKE WHEN THE FRONT BRAKES ARE IN USE, ALLOWS CORROSION, FROM EXPOSURE TO THE ELEMENTS, TO DEVELOP.

A COUPLE OF WEEKENDS LATER I DECIDED THAT I WOULD REMOVE THE FUEL FROM THE TANK BECAUSE I BELIEVED THAT THE GAS MAY HAVE CONTAINED TOO MUCH ALCOHOL WHICH MAY BOIL AT A LOWER TEMPERATURE. I REMOVED ALL BUT ABOUT 2 GALLONS OUT OF THE 7.7 GALLON TANK. I RODE TO A FUEL STATION AND REFILLED TO ABOUT 3/4 OF AN INCH https://plaincars.com/make/honda-st1300a https://plaincars.com/make/honda-st1300a#complaint-926790 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:00:00 GMT AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT FOUR MILES AT LOW SPEED ON A SECONDARY ROAD, THE REAR BRAKE OF THE MOTORCYCLE SUDDENLY LOCKED UP AND I CAME TO AN ABRUPT HALT IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC.

(IN FACT, THE GOLDWING HAS AN ACTIVE RECALL BECAUSE OF THIS BRAKE SYSTEM.) THIS IS TO REPORT THAT THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER SECONDARY MASTER CYLINDER (SMC) HAD ACCUMULATED WATER AND CORRODED TO THE POINT THAT MY REAR BRAKES WOULDN'T RELEASE.
