Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT

The Best Adventure Bike BUT – Purchased a new 2022 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT and in the last year have done 13,500kms on it. Honda advertises this bike as an adventure bike with their promo material showing the bike going over all kinds of challenging terrain, water crossings, mud & sand. I don't do any of that on my Africa Twin. I'll tour on it over the bitumen and every now and then check out some gravel roads to go somewhere different.

Well after about 11,500kms I had a front fork seal start to leak. Thinking it might just be something in the seal I had a dealer inspect & clean the seal. But it kept leaking.....and leaking.....and leaking.

I Googled the problem and it seems this has been an issue on the Africa Twin for several models in the past for many riders world wide.

You'd think Honda would've fixed it.

Recently I had a 13,000kms service on the bike at a Honda dealer and explained the issue. They stated to me that it's not covered under warranty. So I emailed Honda and this is the exact email I got back: ---------------------------------------- Dear Brett,

Pretty disappointing considering it's a $25,000 bike that's been advertised as an "Adventure Bike"
