Hi about 6 months ago i brought a new bike honda cbf 125 on finance and it is still under warranty?

About 2 weeks into me driving it felt there was something wrong with the clutch or gear leaver as it would sometimes won't let me shift up i told honda about this they told me in my first 600 mile service to tell them about it so i did
but they were convinced there was still noting wrong there as the problem only happened sometimes they could not see were the problem was (being honda i would of thought they would investigate it but didn't )

then the problem got worse and worse and finally coming up to my second service at 2500 miles i started to call head office saying threes still a problem there

any way after a long winded wait for calls and such from honda they finally accepted my claim request and i taken my motorcycle back to the garage yesterday to try and get it fixed i asked the mechanic how long will it be for me to get my bike back (as i was expecting to have it back same day )

They now have said they have to strip it down send part request forms off and wait for them to be accepted or not then wait for the parts to arrive to fit them from 7-13 days he said

i was hoping you guys would know if threes anything i can do about getting a replacement bike until its fixed as i start work at 4.00 am in the mooring and work 37 miles away from home with no chance of public transport or any other means of getting there

i really nee a replacement bike is this something honda can do as its not my fault its broken?

Assuming you are in the UK:

"i was hoping you guys would know if threes anything i can do about getting a replacement bike until its fixed…"
You can hire / rent one.

"… Is this something honda can do…"
Not at all.
Honda's (and the dealer's) only responsibility is to get your bike fixed within a 'reasonable' time, as outlined in the terms of the warranty. They have absolutely no legal or moral obligation to supply you with a replacement bike at all.

However, the dealer MAY offer you a courtesy bike, if you explain your circumstances and they have a machine available. There's no harm in asking, but remember, they don't have to offer you anything.

Hi you need to keep taking it back. Yes they will need keep it sometime to correct it. So you will need to make other arrangements whilst they have it.

Well that sucks i a tight **** but in this economy you have to bee and i don't see thee point of paying for a motorcycle if you have got it if they told me on the phone it would have been this long till i get it back i would of told them id pay for it myself its worth it to save the hassle of travel to work

and yes i'm in the uk

  • Where do I put my tax disc holder on a Honda cbf 125? I purchased a tax disc holder off ebay (universal for any bike), but I can't seem to locate where to put it on my honda cbf 125cc. Any help would be great.
  • I can't go above gear 4 in honda CBF 125 2012? I bought a second hand HOnda CBF124 2012 model two weeks ago. I though these bikes had six gears? I sped up to 45 and gear four is max i could go to. I can't shift the gear lever after that. Why do you think i'm having this problem?> Yes, I know But mine is like 1 up and only 3 up… Can't go any more than that I mean 1 down and 3 up Okay thanks. How much would it cost to get checked and fixed?
  • Honda CBF 125 security, safety and price query? I was interested in buying a Honda CBF 125 as my first learner bike. I have looked around and found a few for sale (second hand) for about 1.5k in apparent "good condition" and an average 6k miles. Would it be better to get a cheaper bike with more miles or pay £400-500 and purchase one with less (about 1-2k miles)? Additionally, what is an affordable (within £100 budget) disk lock that can give adequate protection to the bike which also fits?
  • GRS 125 or a Honda CBF 125? I'm stuck between the bikes, both look very reliable and build quality. The GRS 125 is new and is around 2000 pounds at my dealer, pretty bike and feels nice, Austrian made so its a European bike. The CBF125 is a 2010 model with 310 miles, pretty much new and seems nice too, it comes around 1700 pounds. So I was wondering which one I would be recommend as a starter bike and what's the better choice?
