- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The welded area could break, resulting in rear suspension collapse or lower cross member separation, increasing the risk of a crash.

Service Brakes, Hydraulic
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Certain motorcycles equipped with combined-brake systems have a proportioning control valve (pcv) that mechanically proportions brake force when the rear brake is applied. A seal in some pcvs is improperly shaped, and brake fluid leakage may occur.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record

- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will inspect the rear brake forleakage. If leakage is confirmed, the dealer will replace the pcv free of charge. The recall began on january 31, 2005. Owners may contact honda at 866-784-1870.
