So, while riding through Colorado Springs today I stopped by Apex Sports. Their service department is one of the best in the rocky mountain region. In fact, they performed the brake recall service on over 1,400 Goldwings (including my 2013), more than any Honda dealer in the country. I mentioned the two failures on this board to their service manager, and asked him how many he'd seen in his shop. His answer? Not one! He's familiar with it, and had some comments about the causes, but said it really isn't very common.
It's not just the F6B's with the issue the standard Wings and the Valkrye has it to. My 2002 Wing it failed and had to be replaced but since I'm a wrench I just did it myself and used the old wiring from the bad sensor and made an extension harness to move the connector to the cowl area to replace it easy next time. I no longer own it but in the future somebody will thank me for that! My 2015 F6B the sensor went into a crank but no start and the bike had the code but the dealer could never get it to happen so Honda would not replace it. It never happened again but when the air filter needed replacing I would have went on in after that sensor and just swapped it out. Have since traded the F6B off for the new trike.
