Alright guys I need some help from the community here. I have a 2017 CRF450RX and the two points where the linkage connects to the frame snapped clean off today after landing. I have insurance on the thing and I also have a warranty but the dealership is closed today and the warranty people apparently don't work sundays either. I emailed Honda and plan on calling them tomorrow, but I have no experience with this sort of thing. Warranty says 'protects against mechanical failure' and Im not sure if that falls under it. I just recently re-packed everything with grease, and the bolts on the pull rods are perfectly in tact. I'm at a loss as to how this happened other than something wrong with the frame itself? Anyone with experience in this situation with advice I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. Pics to follow.
I think there are threads on Vital about other people that had this problem.

Id just tell them it broke and not mention you did anything to it. IMO you would have to fuck up pretty bad with the wrenches for this to be your fault.
Pit Row
If you are going to bang on about Honda frame reliability vs Yamaha then there are a lot more documented Yamaha frames failures than Hondas...!!
So if anything your confidence should be high.
but please keep defending a multi nat that doesnt give a shit it makes you look like hysterical bieber fan..
Attacking my view doesnt mean yours is any better.
"This sucks man, was on the fence between a new Honda and Yamaha, stuff like this is just not inspiring confidence in the red brand."
But continue please.
