IS THERE A WAY TO RECHARGE THESE SHOCKS WITH OIL? I SAW A WEBSITE SELLING SHOCK OIL. OIL CAME OUT OF THE ALUMINUM CAP NEXT TO THE PIGGYBACK OF THE SHOCK.

One of ours had leaked all the oil out of it. Honda replaced it under warranty. $954.00 Cnd$ up here for one if you had to buy it.

I TALKED TO HONDA YESTERDAY, THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I ALSO BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY JUST IN CASE,YOU NEVER KNOW WITH A BRAND NEW MODEL WHAT MIGHT POP UP! BUT I WAS STILL WONDERING IF YOU CAN REPLACE THE OIL AND PRESSURIZE THE SHOCK,IT SURE LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR HELP!! THIS IS A GREAT SITE FOR ALL OF US TO ENJOY.

yay honda! Im glad they decided to cover it ... usually they are pretty good ... cause if you think about it a shocks sole purpose is to take abuse away from you riding .... and us buyers are kinda guinea pigs and im sure honda actually appreciates the real world feedback ... even if its bad.

I have a great working relationship with my local dealer and got my warranty for 900.00 for 4 additional years, making it 5 years in all. I figured with the new design IRS and stuff it was a good choice. They threw in the pre-paid maintenance for free, since I have purchased 4 street bikes from they in 5 years and am one of thier best salesmen...LOL

I too bought the extended warranty.

Woot!

1st year for production anything = me buying an extended warranty.

I feel special, I paid $620 for mine... Good thing cause the rear shocks needed to go, i dont weigh enough for them, the diff paid for some of my elkas.
