Honda response to paint issue

[Jrockr]

Mine originally came straight out the crate as well, I asked the dealer to not touch the paint, don't wash it, or wipe it off.

I cleaned, polished, and waxed it very carefully, and my bike HAS the soft paint problem.

I have installed 3M film on the suspect rub spots but you can simply wipe your finger over the paint and it will scratch.

Like others I have gone the normal route of dealer and mother Honda. Still waiting for a solution from them.

Jkelly,

How did the 3M film work out for you? That is the next step for my F6B due to the paint on the bike. The self healing Technology by it self is worth it, your thoughts?

Works very well, even after I did a repaint I put the film back on for added protection. There are precut kits you can buy for the tank sides, bags etc.

I have the 2013 Black with soft paint. It is what it is, Honda will do nothing about it. Put Liquid Glass on it and Just ride it, enjoy it. I'd much rather see Mother Honda address the neck bearing problems they won't admit that they have had for years and still do...I developed the 40 mph wobble at the 18000 mile mark. Now I get to pay the dealer to install All Balls tapered neck bearings to fix the problem and listen to them tell me that installing them voids my warranty.....Not to worries about that statement as that's what Attorneys are for in the event of a warranty repair.........................Dickie
