Okay good. I'm going to call them Tuesday and schedule them to do it that day. Hopefully Southern Honda doesn't charge me for housing my bike or some bull shit like that.

I don't know if anyone else noticed this but. you said that the bike was modified by the previous owner. In my experience, when you change from a 525 sprocket to a 520 sprocket, you have to use a washer that is provided in the kit to keep things tight and as you stated, perhaps the previous owner didn't bend the tab on the washer up after he tightened the nut.

Sorry to be a wet blanket but I don't want you to get your hopes up.

I didnt think of that. But maybe they wont realize its been converted to the 520. Thats kind of unlikely but ya never know lol. Still it has nothing to do with the warranty so maybe that doesnt matter either.

I had the same bike in red. It was awesome. Much faster than my Buell.

Congrats!

You may want to see if the recall was performed on the sprocket retaining nut and lock washer. It hadn't been done to my 01 which I bought in 2007. The dealer performing the recall is supposed to put a punch mark like a period after the VIN number to indicate it has been done.

For the R6 the effected VIN number ranges are below.
RJ04E-0000015~0028429
RJ06E-0000012~0030477
RJ04Y-0000006~0002931
RJ06Y-0000004~0006432

Lol i wish you would of said something about this sooner lol. I was on my way to work and as i was slowing down to get off the ramp the Sprocket slipped off the drive shaft and i was just rolling down the ramp. Pushed it into the closest Gas station and had a buddy bring me some tools. I thought the Chain just jumped off or something. it was really strange to me. When i got it all taken apart the chain was still on the sprocket and the sprocket was just sitting next to the drive shaft. I was like what the hell they didnt put the lock washer on it. Idk what happened exactly. It had the 520 Conversion done about a month ago so im thinking the washer wasnt put on and the nut just wiggled loose
