| The dealer has offered to put a new barrel and piston in under warranty. However, I feel that I would be left with a comprimised engine. Without looking at the critical components it is difficult to know whether or not there is further engine damage due to the metal debris. I was asking the dealer to look at these components on my behalf as they were not out when I went back. (It sounds like they would do this anyway as they are a good dealer) To be honest I'm not happy with a simple repair. It is going to affect the second hand value. I have evidence that the engine was run in properly and that sufficient oil was present because the rings are in good condition. The barrel and piston just seem mis-matched. Which means it was faulty when I bought it. My Honda riding mates are finding this very funny!   |
