Instead of replacing the ends have you taken them off and added a little lock tight?
I own a 06 680 and after a few months of riding I had a tye rod get a little loose on me and at first it looked like the one end was bad? I turned out the cotter pin just didn't line up as good as it should and it came a little loose. After adding a little lock tight I have been fine ever since.

where r u installing the loc-tite.to the threads,because the joint assemblies r loose inside

On mine I first thought the joint was loose inside and it turned out to be the cotter pin just didn't line up correctly so I added
loc-tite to the threads and its fine. So you might wanna double check?

If my Joints where loose I would just take then to the Dealer and make sure they replaced them with the new ends and/or if you didn't wanna mess with the Dealer? 06 Rincon tie rod ends run about 10 bucks each.

No its not normal. One more thing for you to do a quick check on, If you haven't? The bottom of the steering stem on most all Rincons seems to come loose from time to time and can cause the same symptoms. It wasn't but one or two rides after I re-tightened my ends and added loc-tite that it turned out I had the same problem with the cotter pin and the bottom steering stem bolt.

Any time you have a problem its best if you contact Honda directly (866) 784-1870 have them open a file on the problem. They will assign you a rep that will contact the dealer in your area for you. For me when ever corporate called the Machine got fixed a little faster and correctly.
