Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2007 Honda ST1300, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ST1300 EQUIPPED WITH DUNLOP ROADSMART TIRES, SIZE P125/70/R18, DOT#DKCJ011M0808. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT BLISTERS AND TREAD SEPARATION ON THE TIRES MADE IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WHO REFERRED HIM TO THE AN AUTHORIZED VEHICLE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT MAKE A DECISION ON HOW TO HANDLE THE TIRE FAILURE UNTIL THEY WERE INSPECTED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,500.
MY MOTORCYCLE'S FRONT TIRE DEVELOPED A VERY LARGE BLISTER APPROXIMATELY 2" WIDE BY 7-8" LONG BY 2" HIGH THIS TYPE OF FAILURE OF THE TREAD COULD EASILY BE DISASTROUS ON A MOTORCYCLE. I'VE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE CONTACT WITH SOMEONE FROM DUNLOP ABOUT THIS DEFECT WITH NO RESPONSE. *TR
