Last September I had a small post about what I called at the time ghost shifting.
In my case occasionally it would shift itself from 4th to 3rd under acceleration. No biggy just a little surprise and all was well.
Today not so much.
This morning while on my ride to work. Stopped at a light. Then as Im accelerating onto a major 4 lane 55mph road. Im going from 4th to 5th at about 60ish and then a god awful banging and the bike shifts from 5th to 4th?? It was stuck in some gear.
Pulled in the clutch got to the side of the road.
Eventually with some jumping up and down on the gear lever got it into gear.
Went on my merry way like nothing had happened.
So my question here is: Has Honda ever admitted to this being a problem??
I was told Honda did indeed make some changes to the gear box with the 2014 models.
Should I pay who knows what to have it looked at?? Or just hope it doesn't happen again.
Or better yet sell the trike?? Im leaning towards this option as the repair bill. Whatever they would be "repairing" would be more then Im willing to spend. Ive heard over $3k+ for a new transmission.
What do you guys all think??
