I'd be annoyed but at the end of it all you just have to pay and then forget it.

,very true . Also Iv a great relationship with the dealer who Iv known since the age of 16 .purchesed my first bike with them. And too be fair they showed me the job card they spent 4.5 hours on the bike , and at the end of the day they charged a fair price, and.everyone deserves a living . Al

You just have to look the footrest/sidestand design to see how well, errrrr not, the Honda R&D has been done on this bike.

Hi chaps, I picked my bike up this afternoon , replacement of a fuse,not covered under warranty .£112.00. .ps and it's not even April 1st ....sore EH .Al

£112 for a fuse - FFS

They have had your pants down Al

I thought Scotsmen were more careful with their brass

hi bud , too be fair they had to remove the fairing crash bars, disconnect the spots. It's just very bad design from HONDA. ..Al

Sorry to hear that - strip half the bike down for a fuse?

Not good R&D - Mr Honda

[Redmurty]

is it bad design that they have to charge the customer a fortune to replace a fuse ? or just another way to make a sheckle at the service dept?

I think they design bikes and cars for the production line and don't worry about servicing the bloody things

cheers Spud

Come on Al, clearly your fault for not looking after it correctly i mean you actually rode it as intended

I'm sorry i didnt take a picture but at the Hubb this week i enjoyed the entertainment of one born again adv rider with full top brand regalia ride his pride and joy AT in, set up his tent then set up his awning for the bike and rode it in for the weekend, much to the delight of others around, some of which were actually taking pics whilst giggling to their mates

I Expect a few pics to appear on various forums in the coming days.

I am not trying to start argument but no body can touch the "Genius solution" from KTM when it comes to sidestands :whistle:

Fair comment, no one's saying KTM dont have turd design solutions but we are discussing the shocking design errors on the new fandabydozey AT, and besides that sidestand "issue" takes all of 10 minutes and £20 to completely overcome.

If Honda had spent a little more on design and a little less on a whole years worth of trickle feed promo videos perhaps they may have sorted it out before releasing it. Those videos convinced me it was gonna be amazing, the best thing since sliced bread etc and I had to have one, went to the NEC ready to put a deposit down, left soooooooo dissapointed I don't even want to test ride it.
