Could that be the source of the problem?No, I washed very carefully and used only shampoo for washing and Nevrdull for the chrome parts. Did wax the tank from time to time.
My CB is not the only one, suffering from those quality issues. We have a couple of `13 CBs here in Germany, showing this flaking at the engine and that rust at the ABS ring.
My Honda dealership told me, there was a series in 2013 production, where there were problems with cleaning the cylinder before the paint job. That's the reason, why Honda offers, to completely exchange the cyclinder for free, if you're in warranty. However, I don't like the idea, to make such an intrusive change to the engine and I prefer to give it back to the dealership and buy another one.
But don't ask me about the loss...
