Honda ST1300A, ST1300: Electrical
Affects Honda ST1300A, ST1300 · 2003–2004 — about 1K vehicles.
The hazard
On certain motorcycles, the distributor connector cap of the main wire harness was improperly wired, causing one ground circuit to be apportioned an excessive load. If the connector overheats, the power to various circuits could be lost. As a result, a loss of critical lighting or engine power could occur without warning, which could cause a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the ground distribution connector and check for damage. If any damage is found, the dealer will install an improved main harness. If no damage is found, the dealer will install a reconfigured connector cap that will apportion the ground load correctly.
