For what it is worth. Just got back from the dealer on 12/8/2007. They have a stop sale on the 2006/2007 CBR1000. They were not specific about the reason. My parts buddy indicated quietly that the cause was gas tank related.

 

That's beautiful. Was Honda purchased my AMF or something? I love the fact that there's a problem serious enough to freeze all '06 and '07inventory, yet Honda chooses tokeep us in the dark. I'm sure glad I was automatically enrolled in the Honda Rider's Club of America, I've been loving the special insider VIP treatment. I'm not just another ball-scratching mammal with a checkbook, I'm a part of the Honda family now. Yay!!! Thanks Honda!

 

I have to agree with you on that. You think they would atleast try to inform 06' and 07' 1000rr owners of the problem, instead of trying to keep it hush, hush. Since they've frozen all sale's on them, it mustbe a prettybig concern. Im sure gasoline leaking onto a hot engine isn't the safest thing in the world. I think I might go to the Honda House that put my tank on and ask them about it this weekend. They had a couple 07's in stock. I'll see what they have to say. I guess the won't be so surprised now that my tank was leaking.

 

I a going in for my 4k check. I talked to them the other day to see if they had another Repsol 07 for sale. Someone wants one. He told mre they cannot sell any because of a recall. I have an 07 Repol so I should know something soon.

 

The dealer I go to that has a lot of gear knows about it, but it is an hour and a half away. The ****** at the nearby shop still don't know jack shyte. I was advised not to ride it since I can smell the gas. WTF, will HRC cover a tow to the local shop?

 

just talked to my dealer
he knew about the recall but honda hasnt told them how to proceed with fixing it yet
he said that it will be fine to ride.

and you smell gas on this bike a lot
there is a tank vent tube hanging down that vents vapors from the tank

 

I just went by my dealer today to try and get a price on a pipe since they gave me 40% off prices of aftermarket parts when I bought it and while there they mentioned the recall. I had no clue and no leak/smell of gas yet but will be getting it fixed next week when they get the parts in. Keeping it/riding until then. 3100mi and perfect riding here in Phoenix today. Glad no leaks yet. Could've ruined my day off. Atleast they're fixing them though.

 

Got my official recall notice in the mail yesterday [:'(]

Basically it says they will replace your fuel tank if needed.

Came with a second form for the people who have already paid for repairs for reimbursement.

 

It arrived = grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

Wow, about time.

They need to do this with the Cam Chain Tensioners...

At least Honda is not like a Triumph.

A big POS. Haha..
