Broke my oil tank on my 01 400EX
#1
This was going to be my 2nd oil change, my first oil change I waited to do until I got a torque wrench ($80.00)so everthing was to Honda spec. Well this weekend I pull it out, warm it up & go to loosen the oil tank drain and SNAP 2 1/2 QT'S of GN4 are on the ground in 2 seconds.The hole thing broke there is a hole the size of a quarter in the botton of the tank!!!! Before it was done draining I was on the phone with the dealer telling them the story before I could finish they told me I did it and there was nothing they could do. I will be calling Honda today to bitch. Oh yea the price of a new one $168.00 I feel like I'm being Fuc#@d!!

I am very happy to tell you all that I
talked to Honda today about my oil tank and they are going to take care of everthing!!
Honda seemed a little pissed that the dealer just gave me the main Honda phone # and said it's not covered.I asked if I should call the dealer to make a appointment and they said no that they would call the dealer for me just to take the quad to them.
Soon to be fixed 01 400EX

Well, when I was told that it was not covered I asked to talk to parts to see how much more I was going to be indept and he said that he has heard of 3 other cases in the area. As far as why it happened I dont know I used a torque wrench on the last oil change. When I talked to Honda they had no problem takeing care of it so Im sure it's happening all over the country. I'm just glad Honda stepped up to the plate and helped me out.
