Fyi, received my letter today. And those who already replaced the parts might be eligible for a refund from Honda. 5hr job. Get the bike repaired and it has to be a powersports Honda authorized dealer. Get it done before parts get back ordered.

My bro has a '15, and all of the Honda dealers around me are wildly incompetent. He is thinking of sending the engine to NC to a real dealer...Other than that he is sitting on a big ol' paper weight.

Was it jumping out of gear or false neutrals around 2-3rd shift

I saw the other thread recently about this recall.. I never got a letter or call from Honda about my 15'er.. My local Honda dealer is pure garbage too. This should be fun. Anyone have any recomendo's for a decent Honda dealer in the north Florida area? Trusting my local dealer with a bottom end is pure insanity in my eyes.

I'd like to see anyone do that job is 5 hrs. As a full authorized Honda dealer and tech, that's shitty

Didn't say, but not that I am aware. I was out of work at 4 and was loading up to ride...got a call and said his bike grenaded.

You won't get a call, the letters are out, mailed to the last registered owner. You don't need the letter to get the recall done.

Ahh makes sense, bought mine out of state and we don't need to register bikes here. Thanks for the input sir.

Saw five hours as the time. Shockers. I'll give them and extra hour to take care..
