Filing in context
The Accelerator is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 34 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 19 Honda notifications from 2001 in this archive. For scale, 1,576 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 11 months.
Defect
On motorcycles, the throttle grip is improperly designed where it inserts into the handlebar pipe, allowing water to enter the joint. The water causes rust to form on the handlebar pipe, which prevents the throttle grip from operating smoothly. In the worst case, the throttle grip fails to return to the closed position and engine speed does not decrease.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the throttle grip and handlebar pipe with corrected parts.
