I found this on another site and I thought I might as well post it
OK fellas if you didn’t buy your extended warranty, and it isn’t too late I would go do it. Why? Well I am going to tell ya.
My buddies bought his 05 three days after me, about two months ago. We were riding last weekend and after we were done we washed the bikes up. He started his up and it had sounded like there was a bolt rattling around in the case, bouncing off the crank and case. He took it to the Honda dealership where he bought it, dropped it off. He called an inside friend in the service depot to find out the scoop.........Here is the scoop.
They called Honda and told them what it was doing. Honda replied O yea we know about that, there is a silent recall for that, do not tell the customer. Take the head off and see if the crank moves back and forth. They did, and it did. So bad it was whacking the case, both sides. Next step is to split the case on a bike that has 10hrs on it. Turns out the crank is trashed, bearings and a rod. I think we are going to show up there tomorrow unexpected with a camera.
I think Honda is holding there breath hoping that people will run out of warranty before this takes place. That is why they are not telling anyone. I hope I don’t have a 7000.00 pile-0-shat.
