If you put a cover on the bike right after riding it the tailight will deform, at least that seems reasonable. If not I'd look at where you're parking it (IE against a wall area...etc Mine did the same thing. Honda replaced it under warranty and I havent had the problem again (havent covered it since either. Seeing how the tailight deforms to the right and the bike sits on it's stand leaning to the left?? I'd say for sure it's a "while parked" sort of thing

 

shoulda jas ran it out the side liek normal bikes!!!!!

 

They could have... but that underseat exhaust is what first caught my eye on these new RR's. I think it's snazzy and a look at what's to come.

 

Thanks oldskool,

You might be right here. I do cover the bike immediately after riding. I agree that the way the light deformes indicates that it happens while it is on the sidestand. I will try to replace again and stop covering it until it cools down. I will report back.
