ST1100 CARBURETOR ICE HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES ON THIS VEHICLE WHEN OUTSIDE AIR IS BETWEEN 35 AND 40, AND FOG OR RAIN IS OCCURRING. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS ON FEB 6 1999, AND CAUSED A TOTAL ENGINE SHUT DOWN ON A BUSY ROADWAY WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OFF. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY TRAFFIC BEHIND ME, AND HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO RESTART AFTER THE ICE MELTED. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED SEVERAL MORE TIMES THE SAME DAY AND CREATED HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS IN WHICH THE ENGINE WAS BARELY ABLE TO RUN AND WAS VERY ROUGH. UPON REACHING AN AREA WHERE THE AIR WAS DRY, IT RAN FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERYTIME, I HAVE OPERATED THE VEHICLE IN COOL/MOIST CONDITIONS, YET HONDA CLAIMS THAT THEY KNOW OF NO PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL WITH CARBURETOR ICE. MY CONTACT WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL VIA INTERNET, INDICATES THAT MANY OWNERS OF THIS MODEL HAVE CARBURETOR ICE PROBLEMS UNDER THE CONDITIONS I HAVE DESCRIBED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC AND VERY INCONVENIENT AT ANY OTHER TIME. *AK
