Letter from Honda re Chains breaking through cases.

[Nurse Julie]

I'm not sure if out Ash has added this to our comprehensive set of files but it's (or should be) a link to the original letter from Honda about chain case breakages. Maybe Ash could put it in the correct place.
Ash, if this link doesn't work, I'll send it over to you direct.

It's fine with me Bryan and the chap that recently obtained the letter along with the original envelope and the bike, has shared it with a FB group. I just thought it's a bit of history that may be of interest to our group

Maybe we should credit the chap that now owns the letter, it is William Moss.

That’s interesting Julie, and a real piece of Honda history that is equally applicable today.

Yes that's a great bit of Honda History...thanks for posting. Think I may have seen something on FB about it ..not sure....quite a few idiots on there so I tend to skip over a lot of it.
It's scandalous IMHO that a lot of info is regurgitated from the SandcastOnly forum site but that site itself  is almost dead now as nobody seems to post any more..

For anyone new on here myself/Bryans collection of 750 Service Bulletins is in the Dropbox links and repeated below in the link.
  (the full article is several pages long)

Last year I bought a spiral bound copy of the Bulletins off eBay (upto about #20) and there are a couple in there I have never seen anywhere before. In due course I will scan and add them and this letter too.

The recall for chain breakage is in the link above (#32) ..a screenshot of the first bit is here.
