Dear CBR1000RR Owner:

American Honda has determined that riding a 2004-2005 CBR1 OOORR motorcycle in the low rpm range for an extended period of time may CC;:luse the ACG to overheat, which causes a short circuit of the stator windings, resulting in insufficient battery charging.

Warranty Extension

To ensure long-term satisfaction with your Honda, American Honda is providing a six-year warranty extension for the ACG (charging system) on 2004-2005 Honda CBR1000RR motorcycles. This is in addition to the standard one-year warranty that comes with your CBR 1 OOORR. Please note that this Warranty Extension does not apply to any CBR 1 OOORR that has had its electrical system modified, aftermarket electrical accessories installed, or accident damage.

What should you do?

If your CBR 1 OOORR is starting normally, you do not need to do anything at this time.

If, however, your 2004-2005 CBR1 OOORR is becoming increasingly difficult to start (such as after refueling during a ride), because the engine cranks slowly or will not crank at all, the battery may have discharged while riding due to a faulty ACG. (Note: This warranty extension does not apply to starting problems that result from improper battery storage or any other electrical system malfunction.)

If you believe your 2004-2005 CBR 1 OOORR is showing signs of a faulty ACG, please call any authorized Honda motorcycle dealer and make an appointment to have your motorcycle inspected and, if necessary, repaired.
Although the repair will take less than three hours, please plan to leave your CBR 1 OOORR for a day to allow the dealer flexibility in scheduling.
