I just picked up my bike 2/13, thats right friday the 13th, and have been able to put just under 300 miles on it as of today.
During the first 100 miles I noticed that the cord for the headset was creating a mark on the left side of the tank. This mark will not polish out and appears to be a series of scratches. I use some abrasive polish and it remove alot of the mark, but it came right back after another few miles of riding. The cord appears to be in good condition and only the rubber could touch the tank.
As I sit on the bike the cord does not touch anything. It does touch the tank as I reach foreward to push the display button or something like that, but this is very seldom. There are also some marks begining to show up on both sides of the tank where my knees touch.
My bikes is a 2004 candy black cherry.
Honda says rub it out after every ride and don't let the cord touch anything. This seems excessive to me and seems like rubbing the mark out will wear through the paint very soon.
Has anyone else seen this type of problem?? Any info would be really appriciated.
