Water damage garbage!!!???

'07 Honda Foreman, 58 miles on it, 13hrs.

Thursday I get the death sequence of the shift indicator on the display. CRAP!

Call dealership and take bike in (it's still under warranty thank god)

Water got into a few of the cables and it needed to be drained and packed with dielectric grease. It was all free BUT.... cummon!

I baby this toy... never above center rim in water/mud/dirt. Always cleaned after riding. It's MINT condition.

So you mean to tell me that an ATV <--- ALL terrain vehicle <--- water/snow/dirt/mud/gravel/etc.. etc.. Can't go in a 6" puddle! GIVE ME A BREAK!

Ouch.. that sucks!

Think I'll just NOT wash it. Because as explained the same problem happening whithin a year is not covered under warranty! What's that about? That stinks.... so a problem that happens constantly due to manufacturer defect or poor build is only cost recovered under my own wallet. Thats garbage!

58 miles on a two year old machine?!?!

It sounds like you've been ON a break!

I got a deal for trading my R1 street bike straight up for it. My R1 was an '03 with 15k miles on it. This guy called, wanted to trade cause he got a divorce and needed a cheap way to/from work. And when I traded it had 2hrs and 11 miles on it!!!

Man I sure hope so.....

I have two of those and both have been in water up to tops of fenders and no problems. Course I have NEVER washed them either.
