Well, what can I say. The bike I have bought has to be the worst bike Honda has ever built. I think that this bike was built for trainning the new line associates to get practice on before they go onto the main line because the hole bike from top to bottom is junk. If you have read my other threads and know who I am and the trouble I have had with this bike in the past I just wanted to add one more major problem, The bike blew up while at the dealers.
First at 75 km the O-Rings in the tranny went, then the water pump puked out antifreeze from the weeping hose. The vin # on the bike said that it was to have the new pump on it but it didn't. When I got the bike back and went out for a ride with the boys last weekend the temp light came on. As long as I didn't ride it hard it was fine. I soon as I rode it hard the light came on. I took it back to the dealer again and he changed the sensor and said that it looked like there was stop leak in the rad. Well, I said that I didn't put that in there. He then flushed out the rad fluided and installed new fluided and took it out for a ride to check to see if the light would come back on. The light came on about 20 min into the ride then "BANG" BY-BY HEAD GASKET!!!! I have talked to comuster servivce twice now and I have told them once this bike is fixed I want a 2 year exended warranty and compansation for the 6 weeks lost in total for all the problems this bike has cost me. They said let's wait till the bike is fixed and they will figure something out. Know one should have to go through this kind of crap. Honda better step up to the plate on this mess.
