Andy m 23,659 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Great to see the traditions of British industry preserved in this way. I trust you will be putting the world to rights and/or reading the sports page right up to the last mouthful? 😁 Now you've done a few of these are you seeing anything common across the failures? There is something Honda can improve with these but I wouldn't like to guess what. Hardened pins etc. stand a chance of just moving the problem to a less accessible component. The low but not insignificant number of failures scream tolerance stack, the bottom spec pin not liking the top spec hole or whatever. Andy Link to post
davebike 943 Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 Current replacement pins are black not silver and hardened My guess from talking to customers is the pin only failes if you ignore Honda's advice to select netural then switch off but just put the stand down this appeares to stress the pin beond what was expected 1 4 Link to post
