Hello together. A few days ago, after reading some posts about the oil gear failures, i decided to pull out the engine of my `01 speedster.
The idea of DrHonda to take an endoscope and look into the oil drive was great. You can see exactly if the oil gear is worn. You can also take a little flashlight to look inside. My oli gear Looks like a new one and i´m more relaxed now. It took 2,5 hours to pull the engine and it is not so easy as it is shown in the service manual. Because there is not enough space to turn the engine without disassembling the exhaust.
Maybe it´s only in the speedster. Greetings from Germany and please apologize my english ;-)
