We've REALLY been enjoying the new trike! Put over 700 miles on her so far. Now the bad news. From the first day we got the trike, I *thought* I saw something leaking. Barb said it was probably from someone who parked there before us. OK. Then we stopped at a motel due to heavy rain on the way...and it did sideline us for a day and a half. Covered the trike, noticed "rainbows" in the water.....can't be us....I was in denial.
Parked at home on a tarp. Noticed a little bit of "something" but not a lot. Hoped maybe it was something that would....ok, I was starting to make excuses because I had a ride coming up. And I DID take the ride. Had a wonderful time. But when all of the bikes were lined up in the parking lot, one of the gals said she smelled gas and she *thought* it was coming from my trike.
Got back to my friend's house where several of us stayed. We parked our bikes in the garage. Got up Sunday morning. My friend said...."Got some bad news. Your trike is leaking gasoline!" REALLY? Yeah, it was so bad it almost knocked her and her boyfriend over when they opened the garage door. They left the door open to air things out a bit. Pointed out where the gas seemed to be leaking. Advised they thought I'd be safe getting home but to take it in to the dealer asap.
Took my trike to Honda yesterday. Was told they were swamped and it could be two weeks before they could even get to my trike. Two weeks?!?!?! I've been riding every day, are you kidding?! Well, long story longer. The Honda tech called me yesterday afternoon. He said the tank was faulty and would have to be replaced. I was SO hoping it was just a hose clamp or something simple! He contacted CSC. Of course, it is a warranty issue. Trike is so new that they hadn't even received my warranty registration papers yet. I provided the invoice number. He said he would get the parts on order. So now....I wait. Please, keep your fingers crossed that I get a good tank this time...that the tech does a good job, and that I am on my merry, riding way soon. I still can't believe it. I've seen CSC in action before with great customer service for a friend's trike. Hoping for a quick resolution!!!
