Coolant Reservoir
After about a month of riding the '08 Wing out of the showroom floor I developed a leak from the coolant reserve tank. It's made of plastic. All it is, is a plastic bottle. I would have thought that the $25,000.00 bike should have had a better coolant reserve tank. I still love my Wing but that is one flaw I've identified so far. When I brought it in to get fixed, they had me sign a waiver type sheet that said that if Honda finds anything wrong with the bottle (such as been hit or scraped) that I would have to pay for the repair. I performed a visual inspection, with my bike mechanic, before bringing it in and we found nothing to indicate a hit, bang or scrape.
I picked up the bike in a week because they had to order another plastic bottle. Their mechanic also said I should not have a problem because he sees nothing out of the ordinary. A month later, the shop calls me to say that Honda failed the plastic bottle and if I could just send them a check for $90.00.00, they'd appreciate it. I told him that I'm not paying and I never returned - and never looked back. This shop's personnel did not provide a customer friendly environment anyways. Has anyone else had the same plastic bottle coolant reservoir tank problem?
