“On 3/27/17 during routine maintenance and cleaning in my garage, I removed the side covers and found the frame was broken completely apart on both sides of the motorcycle. Frame brake was in the lower tube section of the rear triangle of main frame directly aft of the weld. This is a known weak spot, since Honda reinforced this area of the aluminum frame in mid-2004. This break was reported to Honda powersports customer service in torrance, ca on 3/28/17. Had the broken frame inspected and photographed by authorized Honda service manager 3/31/17. Now waiting to hear from Honda.”
