Hello, my cbr250r black on black was a dream. Until 904mi. A piece of my crank case flew off my bike. At first I thought it was my cell hitting the pavement it wasn't until I stopped at a light did I see the oil river flowing from almost two month old bike. What had happened was my chain which was loose from the day I got it from the dealer distorted the shape of the crank case so much that it popped a 3in hole in the metal guard.
Honda said that is was my fault that it had happened because I did not preform a 500mi chain inspection along with a pre-ride inspection. The chain was just as loose as when I got it from The dealer. Honda said to take it up with the dealer. I am working it out with them now a couple options are to get an unwarranted fix for $450 which I think is bull. The other option is to replace the crank case and some of the whatever for $1500. The third option is to trade in the bike for $2500 and get a new one paying the tax again as well.
