Since you owned it has there been any defects/replaced worn parts?
If so, what was it and the miles on the bike when you replaced it?

 

[Bigdog 1]

Replaced the battery at 11 months. 14,000 miles of no problems

 

[Xmachine]

None so far

Couldn't be happier with the dependability of my 2004 1300C. Only 4,000 miles in a little over a year, but so far, so good. Had a busy year last year, expect to ride more this summer.

This might be worthless but, after 300 mi., absolutely no problems. Hope it stays that way for the next 20,000. 8)

Replaced the battery at 11 months. 14,000 miles of no problems

But what about the bike Bigdog ?

So far no problems with the bike. Thats what I like about Honda.

Snapped my Barnett Clutch cable a few weeks ago. Had it on the bike for about 4k miles. Put the stock one back on until I can order a replacement. Also had a very small leak in the petcock that the dealer changed out for me when they stored it over the winter. Other than that no problems.

Had to replace starter switch at about 6500 miles..under guarantee so no problem except shipping..had to wait about 5 days before I got it back from shop..wrench said he'd replaced a few on new bikes..didn't say how many..Have over 11,500 miles on it now with no other problems..runs great!! 8)

 

[poidog]

Forgot to mention..2004 VTX 1300S Retro :lol:

 

[Gulfstrings]

Got 11,300 miles on my '03 Retro. Perfect! Not one problem 'cept a flat tire in the hills above Borrego Springs, CA.

And even then, it let me down gently.

Great bikes!

 

[XRiderChuck]

nearly 9000 miles and absolutely no defects... knock on wood 8)

 

[cybrhick]

I have only had one problem, but it has never been resolved. I have nearly 8000 miles, and since the moment I left the stealer, at every intersection I start from, my throttle dumps wide open.

 

[wiseguyo]

FAN SWITCH AT 10,000 MILES ON A 03 1300 RETRO

 

[capnfire]

Fan replaced due to fuses blowing. Probably 4000 mi. under warranty.

 

[dakota]

21,000+ miles & no mechanical problems at all,other than the choke wasn't closing completely due to a cable glitch.Easy warranty fix.

 

[Elk Man]

I have put 4,500 miles on my 2005 1300C and she runs great, no problems at all

 

[soldier]

wrong??

10,000 miles by this weekend..........nothing wrong. Did the 8000 mile check up (late obviously)...new plugs only thing changed plus mounted two WW tires, put in the progressive fork springs........145 dollars out the door...Definitely like this bike.

 

[ckintower]

Replaced battery at less than 1 year...

 

[Clayton Root]

Nada! Zip! Zilch! 11,000 kilometers.

Other than the annoying clatter from the engine, I love everything about this 1300 Retro.

Funny I have the same problem 8) I've got abvout 10000 on the bike (04 C) and the only issue I have is some pitting on the wheels that can be attributed to living a stones throw from the ocean and riding more than washing.

2000 miles and not one problem, I love this bike. Just took it out of winter storage, started right up. Changed the fluid and it runs perfect.
