The handlebars and front suspension develop a wobble at approximately 40 mph on up through 50 mph. Above 50 I believe the vibrations are happening so fast it feels a little smoother. However, with the throttle closed and deacceleration down through 50 through 30 mph the handlebars developed a significant death wobble. If you lighten or relax your grip on the handlebars, it is visibly shaking back to forth and is quite alarming. The Honda motor motorcycle dealer is unable to diagnose.

THE FUEL VALVE (PETCOCK) ON MY 2004 HONDA SHADOW AERO MOTORCYCLE STARTED LEAKING FUEL AND EVENTUALLY FAILED. UPON DIS-ASSEMBLY OF THE VALVE, I DISCOVERED THE RUBBER DIAPHRAGM HAD FAILED, CAUSING THE FUEL TO LEAK OUT THE BOTTOM AND FURTHER PREVENTING FUEL FROM REACHING THE CARBURETOR. I REPLACE THE WHOLE VALVE WITH ONE OFF OF A SALVAGED 2006 MODEL. I STILL HAVE THE OLD VALVE. *TR
