2011

My dad has a 2011 500 4x4 foreman the brackets that held the rear racks broke. Honda is saying its gonna be almost 8 weeks from the time we dropped it off at dealership until a factory rep can look at it. The bike has less than 100hrs and riden by a 63 year old with spine trouble ..never abused. Anybody out there have any advise? Is this common?

It was the weld that bolts the rack to the frame. I didnt want to have the frame welded. Because i figured it had to be defective. (Most of my buddies have Hondas and i have seen them loaded to the max). I did call Honda they said it could be up to 4 more weeks for there rep to get to dealership. I think that is bull $#!+ . So do i just say heck with the warranty and let them not stand behind there product? Or do without it all hunting season?

Hey guys just wanted to let you all know just got work from HONDA. They aint gonna do a **** thing said rear rack had been over loaded in there opionion. ( DEALER SHIP ..WARD HONDA in troy,al promised to call as soon as representative from honda spoke to them they would call imagine he has been at lunch for last 3hrs.) Now back to Honda will not give me a wriiten warranty denial. (I think in my opionion this is chicken scratch wanted too use anther word but will not) . I have been advised to leave the atv at dealership until I get a written denial. Anybody out there have good advise? My advise to everyone else out there dont deal with Honda period read all these forums they dont stand behind anything. I have been taught a lesson NEVER EVER ANOTHER HONDA ANYTHING.
