Northman Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Does anyone have this leak ? Isn't that the same problem Sean (K9XX) had on his bike last year? I know it's not a new model, but that's where his was leaking, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Got my recall notice yesterday ('03). I'm not sure what good this recall is going to be, however. The recall states that if my rear brake is found to be leaking, the dealer will repair it. Well, what if it's not leaking now but starts leaking later? If I've already had the recall service and it's NTF, then WTF? Do I then have to pay for the repair myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian03XX Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I was thinking the same thing. They [Honda] should just replace the dam thing!!! So you take your bike in and its not leaking will they even look at it? Then your riding one day and it starts to leak! IM going to give Honda a call and ask the same thing. Will let you all know what they say. :???: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warp11XX Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Got mine done with the break-in service (dayum, that was expensive for an oil change) on Weds. afternoon. There is a test procedure that must be performed. It is a pass/fail test that determines the need of repair and/or replacement, according to my local Honda dealership technician. The proportioning valve is compressed by placing a jack under the caliper. A measurement is taken from the base of PCV piston to housing, this measurement is then rechecked in thirty minutes. If the distance has shortened during this time, you need the fix. No repair kits have been shipped from Honda. They will not be shipped until the dealers have determined that a repair is needed and place the order. Mine was not one of the bikes affected. The o-ring that is in question was manufactured .002mm oversize. Apparently this causes stiction that shouldn't be there and will not allow full and rapid return of the PCV which in turn allows a small amount of fluid to "wick" out of the valve. YMMV, but I doubt it... :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Warp, thanks for the info. I just received my notice in the mail the other day and was waiting to hear results such as yours before taking the Bird in for inspection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
