I've asked them to call me to arrange the work once they have the parts in stock. 

 

I quite fancy trying the new Crossrunner. 

I'm sure if you ask or book a test ride they'll sort it. I just took what they had as a courtesy bike.

Mechanic didn't say anything about waiting for stock, they booked mine in as soon as I called.

I wondered whether you had as I got back from Paris to find the "Phase Two" recall notice in my mail.

 

NC750? Was that all they had?

 

Yep, booked it as soon as the phase 2 notice arrived. Mechanic at Norton Way reckons it only takes him 40 mins now.

 

Yep NC750, wasn't offered a choice. Glad I didn't have too far to go 

Mine was replaced yesterday and is as smooth as a smooth thing. Then again it was before they put the new shaft in 

 

And having ridden around on an NC750X for the day while they did it I'm reminded of just how awesome the 1200 is

That might slow things up a little if the parts are coming out of that factory?

Still, very minor thing compared to the plight of those in the area so here's wishing them luck.

I checked with the Honda UK website today and my bike is recalled. I've not received anything in the post but then I'm away so it may have arrived and Mrs Skids not told me.

May have to arrange for my bestest best buddy ever, good old Royston Rocket 2 to take it in for me. He's such a good bloke you know; tall, handsome, selfless, always there for his mates, nothing too much trouble to help a m8 out - you know the type, one in a million!

Who is this? ;-)

You have mail.

Have we discovered if they are saying ALL VFR1200s are affected by this or only ones that fail a check (which check? There isn't one in either of those downloads, just replacement procedure)? Or is it only certain years or is it by a check?

I was in Norton Way Letchworth over Christmas and asked both at the service desk and Steve in the showroom. They both still claim to know nothing about this! Be interesting to see what happens next in the UK / Europe.

At least mine isn't being ridden and hopefully by the time I get back, it will all be sorted.

If there's a time limit on the recall, I may have to ask you to take it in for me.

No worries, I've been using yours since you went anyway ;-)

My VIN has A2DK3 at its centre which doesn't appear in the numbers above. It could simply be different countries / continents dealing with the recalls separately though of course. So, for now, in the UK, we wait.

I have a Snap-on torque wrench, mine broke removing it after it was properly torqued

Bugger, I hate it when that happens. I just suggested torque wrenches for crakerjac as he said he's a "chronic over tightener".

So there is no chance of getting a 'free' differential fluid change out of it. I understand it's easy and straight forward... I'm just a chronic over-tightener and don't want to sheer off the bolt.

Buy a set of torque wrenches ;-)

Spoke with the dealer I purchased my 2013 (new) from and they say there are no recalls on my model. They also said they're unaware of any recall.

Don't take any notice of your main dealer, all main dealers use the same info, and all will say no recall on your vin No, just wait until you get your letter from Honda UK, because you will, regardless of what your dealer says. :smile2:

I didn't / don't doubt that it may well come. I've a little experience of this bike ownership lark having started riding and owning them 35 years ago. I'm just saying until I have official notice from Honda then internet speculation means nothing. Currently, the dealer and Honda UK say no recall. When / if they do recall it, I'll take it in a get the work done.

We have a recall on all SC 63 and SC70 models produced between 2010 and 2013. No doubt anymore (even in the UK)...

It says a lot about your dealer how he deals with your concern. Nada! Of Course, this is my opinion!

You've jumped to a conclusion a little hastily there. Forgive me, I paraphrased, what they actually said is bear with us while we check, no nothing showing and we are not aware of anything yet. If Honda UK do make us aware of anything we will let you know straight away.

I also checked for myself on the Honda UK website against my VIN and that also states "no recall or updates" against this vehicle or some such similar words.

I'm not sure what more a dealer can do if Honda haven't reported anything? I don't see why some people are getting on their high horse over this. These things happen! I've been designing products for the best part of 30 years and even I didn't get everything right and I'm a genius ;-)

OP states "frame number" not "engine number"

It does. Then it goes on to list engine numbers!

The recall states VIN numbers with seven consecutive digits... Bartho's VIN doesn't have seven consecutive numbers... only six: JH2SC63B8CK200172... and a buddy's VFR1200F over here in Spain also only has six consecutive numbers... like Bartho's it has letters mixed in.

The numbers quoted in the OP are engine numbers. Not VIN / Frame numbers. HTH.
