anyone melt one yet, or is my brother the only one?

 

I keep oil to the full line so there shouldn't be any crank bearing trouble. Sounds like an error by your bro.

 

no that's was not the problem, he check's his oil every stop when out riding

 

well my brother just got back from the dealership his bike needs a few more parts than a crank, the major things are crank, left side case cover, piston and rings, and a oil pump plus a bunch and seals and gaskets and aways parts for it came to over $1200 canadian then labor on top of that good thing honda is good for warrenty

 

Good too hear Honda is taking care of it. The question remains, what caused the problem?

 

not to be a smart ***. but check the oil at every stop come on!!!!

 

Are you serious? Checking oil at every stop? I can certainly understand checking the oil every ride.....but every stop is ridiculous.

 

thats what i am saying read the whole post. he said his bother checks his oil at every stop that's crazy

 

A friend of mine just lost his crank last week. 2 days before the warranty ran out. Honda has already replaced the frame once, and they are paying for parts on this, but not labor. Now it is good that they are picking up the parts, but I feel that it should be the whole thing for him. The dealer already discovered it was a defect in the engine, so Honda should be forking it all up.

 

what is the defect
