I recently purchased a Honda CB550 F1 which is only just over 47 years old and when I checked the oil, it needed a teaspoon full to bring it to the full mark - will it need new piston rings having burned so much oil in such a short space of time? Furthermore, the battery on this machine had deteriorated so much that it had disappeared completely with only the vent tube, strap and cables still present. Do I have a valid claim against Honda for supplying a machine unfit for purpose?

Be prepared for huge legal fees - might not be worth 😤😤😤

I think that is just the newness worn off and would raise the standard dealer comment of "they all do that sir"

Check the air in the tyres is still all there.

Checked the tyres for air and some of that had gone too! It just strengthens my case! :)

I am sure if you return the complete machine to Japan, they will refund you the original purchase price.
You do have the receipt I take it?

Oh, bugger!
Had the receipt but it got left in me pants pocket when they were washed! It just disintegrated!

What your trousers!

Oh yeah Bryan, they were my trousers - I've never been a cross dresser but I was really angry when I found the receipt was gone to pulp.
Enough, now before we get our collars felt by Steve!

Is there a claim against the washing machine manufacturer Ian?

Might be Phil,
I remember that case with an American President who denied having taken part in horizontal jogging - where there's a stain there's a claim!
