sad story indeed but you cannot expect to get a new bike just bc of a problem, big or small.
Let them check first and of course you can push honda headquarters so maybe they do something better.
And, i really cannot understand, how come they did not see this at the dealer while assembling the bike? I guess, they did nto do any test rides?

so, i merged these two threads as it is an important topic and we better discuss these cases together for a better collective mind.

to teh OPs, i am sorry guys as it is sad to see an engine falling apart within a short amount of time.
If i were you guys, i got pissed of too a lot and try to claim my money back.
But, in real life, things are not this way. A manufacturer has the right to fix it only and any machine in this world can create problems. So yours guys are just unlucky situations.

But, if we cannot keep this thread within topic, i afraid best should be closing this thread.
Please ladies and gents! You can PM each other to discuss things out of the topic.
Thanks.

How could anyone deal with a place that calls itself "Smokey Point Cycle Barn"?

Sounds like they haven't heard of the existence of a screw driver. No wonder they break panels off the bike.

Probably take a crow bar to the tank to get it off.

yeah, smokey people in a barn
what a shop name.
