JPR Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 So, after much back and forth and some shoddy treatment at the Honda dealer they have confirmed it is the RegRec. Not sure exactly what failed on it as they have just said it is faulty but this has been tested by taking one from a new unregistered bikE and fitting to my bike and retesting. Honda Uk are going to provide a replacement part FOC which is good of them and I have to pay 1hrs labour so no complaints really from me 🙂 will write more after I have collected my bike which will be soon hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news you're being supplied one FOC. Lets know how it all goes in the future, hopefully no more flat battery. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPR Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Yup, fingers crossed Grum - thanks for the help. Got there in the end but would say that my symptoms have been strange even for a reg rec failing. Just the draining of the battery. Nothing else!

Bloody hell tell them to get your new R/R in as per warranty and you can fit the R/R and give them back the old one, as long as you are happy to accept responsibility, why should they refuse you! Sounds like a win - win situation for the Stealership! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPR Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 The money was for the initial diagnostics to confirm it was the reg rec. they didn’t charge me anything for the labour to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPR Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 I’m happy. Considerably better than the 400 odd pounds I would be looking at had Honda not chipped in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPR Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 So, however long since Mr H replaced the Reg Rex I have Ahmad zero issues whatsoever, sometimes leaving the joke a couple of weeks between rides! Looks like I can have the unfortunate honour of being one of the very first with a RR issue on an 8th gen bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
