Has anyone heard (in Thailand) of this recall in 2014?
"Honda has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2013 model year Honda CB500F/CB500X/CBR500R motorcycles. There is a possibility that one of the bolts used in the assembly of the engine may not have received the proper anti-corrosion treatment, which could allow the bolts to loosen during operation. A bolt that loosens or falls out during operation can cause an oil leak, a reduction in engine power or an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash."
I do not think it is the famous rocker-shaft bolt as this was tackled already last year.
I ask this because I had a 2013 CB500F that I reluctantly sold back to Honda (with a big lost of money) because it was loosing oil (and AP Honda Thailand could not fix the problem).
