crankshaft noise and replacement

Hi all i'm new to this forum and looking for some help, has anyone here suffered from any crankshaft noise and had the crankshaft and primary drive replaced which is what my bike is undergoing now under warranty. Apparantly the primary gear teeth deform under heavy or shock loads ie wheelies. I was wondering if anyone with this upgrade has suffered any more issues with the crankshaft since having it done.. My bike is a 2009 hrc Many thanks

 

Well you are the first I have heard with the problem. I assume all is okay now?

 

I have seen on the American websites that the cbr1000rr has recieved and extension to there warranty for this part

 

Here's the letter the American's got:-

My bikes still waiting to go in for the replacement apparently they havent extended the warranty on this part officially here but are willing to replace it even though my bike is out of warranty. Some one else I know also has the same problem and is having his done also on his 09 blade.

 

bringing up an old thread here

jogon - which dealer is doing this for you in london?


can anybody else recomend a dealer that has done this repair under warrenty

thanks in advanced

 

Hi got mine done eventually at Norton way Honda in Letchworth only because they had carried this job out competently on my friends blade they also did a good job of the mine but weren't any where near where I live I'd highly recomend them. I wouldn't take it to hgb Honda in Ruislip as these tossers denied there was a problem as soon as they new it was a warranty job when a day previous they where happy to accept the problem and charge for it.

 

thanks for the reply il give them a call tomorrow

when you say eventualy do you mean they where reluctant to do it also?

 

Shouldn't really make much difference to the dealer if it's a warranty or retail job, either way the dealer gets paid for doing the work.

 

they get payed but at something like half the labour rate. i got the hint at the dealer i went to today they didnt want to do it

 

will check out my dealer when the weather pics up
as it looks like mine hasnt had the recall done either.

 

Depends how much their labour rate is but ours is £4.20 less an hour when done under warranty and any dealer turning work away either warranty or retail at this time of year might not be around this time next year.

 

maybe someone should start a poll to see how many have, havent ,havent due to dealer refusing ?

how many recalls are about, I seen the other one about the clutch

 

PM me your reg and I can see if you have any outstanding

 

I'll do that when I get home.i worry as the fella that had
My bike last used it for one year then put it in storage.

 

Hi no they weren't reluctant at all it was due to hgb Ruislip denying the problem existed then when I checked with Honda Europe they told me hgb Ruislip had my bike and where carrying out the repair which wasn't the case as I still had my bike. So it took me a while to clear up the issues with hgb and their lies. I did find out that the reason some of the dealers are reluctant is the profit margin on warranty jobs is not great and they also had to purchase the parts from Honda then claim back the cost of the parts later.

 

MrB, You seem to be the guy in the know about this thread. I have an '09 HRC Blade, and reading this and the other thread regarding this problem am I right to understand you can see if the bike has had the recall/fix by looking for a punch mark on the clutch lever?
Or have I got the totally wrong end of the stick?

 

You will have a punch mark under the 4th digit of the VIN located on the right side of the steering head if this has been done which I doubt, this problem is very rare
