Brought my 06 foreman 500 to the shop for knocking noise in the bottom of the motor,they rebuilt it started it up,still making the same noise,they told me that they changed every part of the motor,and they could not understand what was wrong,I told them it made that same nosie since I had bought it,it has already had the crank,rod and piston changed back in may of 06,at another Honda place,they said it was a normal nosie for that motor,this dealership said that is not right,they were going to call there Honda rep to see what to do,maybe I will get a new motor,I don't know.Has anybody else had this problem with there foreman's?

I am going there tomorrow to find something out,will keep ya'll informed.
re-foreman 500 rebuild(2)
Yea the first place I brought it was Honda of Lake Charles,learned a good lesson there.I brought it to Triple L Powersports in Orange Tx,this time.
Went there this morning they had the motor back down this time they looked at the tranny 1st and 2nd gear were bad,so I started thinking they rebuilt the motor for nothing?,cost me $2670.00,Now they say it will cost me another $1500 to $2000 to fix the tranny.I don't know for sure because I am not a Mechanic but it sures seems like I am getting srewed out of more money.
Maybe they should have checked the tranny along with the motor the 1st time they had it down.

Getting my bike back
We'll I'm getting my bike back wed. 2-14-07,motor totaly re-built,tranny totaly re-built at a cost of 4200.00.all they could say was that water had been in the motor,I sank it one time,got it out really fast,didn't find any water in the oil then,or when I got it home,changed the oil anyway,didn,t find water,but they said that was the cause for the motor,the tranny they said due to what the gear forks looked like I had been slamming gears,we'll thats probably true,I think everyone does that when trying to get un-stuck.but will try to take of it alittle better this time around.

Yes I will be getting all the parts back,and will be bringing them to a repected mechanic(no longer working as a mechanic $$$)and see what he says,he's already told me he thinks they srewed me out of a bunch of money.I have learned a few valuable lesson through all of this and will not make the same mistake again.
