Default Problems encountered over the 1st year

Thought it might be interesting to have a thread reviewing problems with the Fury that we have encountered over the first year....to see how Honda's engineering and production of this bike has stood the test of time thusfar.

If I'm not mistaken, Indigestions problem was the most serious, was it not?

terrible fuel economy considering the potential of the motor and fuel injection setup.

Mine acts like it doesn't want to start sometimes when it's hot, but it has always went ahead and started and hasn't left me stranded.

It actually choked and backfired up in the engine one time. That was weird, but it ran fine after that and hasn't done it since. Who knows...maybe some one time glitch?

Other than that, I've had this bike a year and no real problems. Taking her in for her third oil change at a little over 8,000 miles.

i cant stop spending money on it... although if you ask me its not a problem, my wife sees it differently!

in all seriousness occasionally my starter doesnt seem to have enough power to turn the engine. like it gets stuck. so then i have to just let go and push it again and it works fine. not sure whats up with that.

Only problems I have had are the things I have worked on. Imagine that!

My Honda Fury has been perfect.
I have had a problem on 3 separate occasions with after market parts fitting right.

Holes in C&C seat were out of line.
Throttle body cover was to big and it had to be bent to fit.
Straps were to short on swing arm bag and new holes had to be made in the bag to fit.

Mine is in the shop right now,has been for the past 2 days.They can't figure out whats wrong with it.I will be riding along and the bike loses throttle response.I thought maybe it was bad gas but it has done this three times in the last month or so and this is the second time its been in the shop.Will a fuel pump just die or will it go bad over time? Thats what im thinking it could be.But Honda says they have had no issues with the fuel pump???

Installing the L&M intake adapter..The bolt on the bottom felt like it was gonna snap taking it out, and putting it in.

Ran a tap down the hole, and all is now well.

Indigestion recently had his fuel pump fail.
