I have a 2006 Foreman 500,I've heard about some problems with them but for me so far everything o.k. How were they used(abused)?I'm a mechanic for a living and I tend to over-maintain everything I own,so I never had any problems with any of my cars,trucks,atv's.The only trouble I ever had with a Honda is my wife's Recon ES.Every electric-shift part was replaced at least once.
