The Honda faithful are the only I group I know who religiously tout their machinery as being the holy grail of quality and reliability when evidence to the the contrary is staring them right in the face.
Could you post some links to this evidence since its staring us in the face? I cant seem to find anything. And for the record Im not a Honda guy, Im speaking from my own personal experience with everything from Honda lawnmowers to cars. Everything they build is quality
Are you serious?You haven't been living in a cave for the last 10 yrs have you?
Lol,ok,but it's the weekend so kitchen painting is on the agenda so I'll have to get back at it later.
A couple notes before I get at it,
1. I've worked on cars for a living for the past 25 yrs so I have a fair idea of what breaks on what brands and how often.
2. As I've already said a couple of times,Honda generally makes good stuff but to say they haven't built dogs,ticking time bombs or machinery that is poorly designed/executed is retarded.
3. What bothers me most about the 4t revolution isn't the engine itself but what trickled in to the 2t line because of it.
For years,2t's were at or about their weight limit so they stayed about the same.With the advent of the 4t MX,because the engines are so much heavier,everything else has been lightened up in order to compensate.Many of these parts also went on to the 2t's and imo,to the point of fragility.
4. I'll be back with your links later
