only bonus is that now my odometer reads zero k's.

had previous minor mechanical situations as well, but more problems with this new honda than with my previous second hand suzuki
As I have owned many bikes over the years, I always thought of the Japanese ones, Suzuki and Yamaha to be the best, with Honda at the bottom. This is not to say that Hondas are poorly made, not at all, but they do seem to use slightly more fragile componets and weaker fasteners than the other 3 makes.
