    Get that rear diff topped off. Should be ok... it just boggles my mind why Honda is continually producing these bikes and they are rolling off of the assembly line with low gear oil levels in the diff. You'd think somewhere/somehow they've received feedback from the field that the diff's have been discovered to be low...

    Check out Steve's comments in the static link below; regarding the final drive (good info in this link)

    Topped up the final drive with Lucas 75w90 today, amazingly the gear mesh noise that has been vibrating the foot pegs is almost non existent now.

    ?? I don't think that you should have any vibrating foot pegs. And it is hard to believe the rear got messed up in only 300 miles.

    But, if you really have a detectable vibration, I would consider a warranty repair/replacement.

    I have to take our back in next week to have some crate damage parts replaced, I'm gonna have it checked out. I can definitely feel a difference now that it has oil in the final drive.
