    As I thought. You don't understand.

    TSBs are generally unseen by customers as they're carried out during
    regular, scheduled services.

    How can I not be convinced by such a well thought-out and reasoned
    counter-argument.

    Bear says...
    Correct

    Correct for the most part.
    I had two of them, and a VF400F that preceeded them.

    Back then I was doing about 20K miles a year, as my girlfriend of the
    time and I lived in Harrow then Wembley and my work was 50 miles away in
    Bedford. The second VF750 would destroy a set of four camshafts in less
    than 200 miles. So naturally it wasn't a very good idea to be commuting
    that distance a day, even if using Honda's special oil additive, which
    did nothing except make the clutch slip under power.

    After Honda UK eventually gave me the VFR750FK to replace the second and
    utterly shite VF750FE, my Honda UK technician mate eventually got to
    strip my old VF engine's top end properly and found the cam journal
    bearings in the heads were machined out of line. Honda discovered this
    fault very late on in the proceedings. Honda staff fork lifted my old
    bike wholesale into a skip with less than 4000 miles on the clock.
    That was the first 750, the Y regd FD I owned. High mileage, abused,
    scruffy as **** but brilliant.
