Hey guys

On my last walk around the bike I noticed behind the rear piston a small puddle of rubber like/ tar goo.

Or melted gasket? Well I see they have a .5" rubber square on the base of motor/ next to rear fins piston.

Im concerned that Honda has made a few to many LITTLE mistakes on this first RUN of the bikes.
I have never seen rubber on the block like this! Where the hell are the new puddles of rubber coming from? The rear ehaust is one point. It brackets close to area!!!

Do they use a rubber gasket/seal between engine exhaust manifold and exhaust PIPE brackets?

Next stop HONDA DEALER!!!

Did they fix it for you at Dealer yet? Is that chunk of rubber ob block a spacer for sheild?
Did you get rubber off block yet and how?
Thanks for the info!!

I would heat it up with a heat gun and peal it off.

same thing on mine, I first though it was because I pulled the rear tank bolt, has a rubber boot there

I have the same thing on mine! small drops on block.I have been keeping a eye on it seems to have stopped but wasn't sure what it was.

Got the same issue... even the replacement rubber cap doohickey fell off. Got me a nice black gew spot still to this day on my engine.

I also had this problem, and was the rubber spacer/gromet for the exhaust heat sheild. Noticed shortly after I saw the black "drips" that a small rattle from that area. Turned out that the spacer was slowly melting off the rear cylinder heat shield. Took it up to the dealer, and he took one off another fury on the showroom, and replaced it on the spot. Said he has seen this in past with the VTX as well, just a cheap design.

Since I'm going to be swapping out my stock exhaust anyway, not to concerned with it. Fixed and back to new for now.

Your dealer should handle this under warantee

Thanks for the heads up... nothing on mine...

When it comes off, does it ring?lol

Same here I did not know what it was from now i do , also noticed the heat sheild loose and rattles . If honda replaces gromment under warranty wouldent the new do the same

 

[tinman621]

mine is loose and dealer claims once you remove this small heat shield you can't replace just the grommet.......owners manual says replace "protecter" with new so they ordered new heat shield cover.....not one of hondas better ideas imho

 

[rharold]

put 800 miles in 2 days haven't seen anything yet but will check tonight when i get home

Like I said, since I'm going to be swapping out the pipes, not really concerned with it happening again.

Definitely not one of the highlight features of this bike, but still love my Fury and wouldn't trade it for anything

 

[WardenMac]

Had the same issue. Had to let the enginie warm up and after a ride it came off without a trace using a microfiber rag to wipe it off.

Actually had this twice to me... the first time was the rubber grommet by the engine block, started off as a small rattle then got annoyting, there is only one rubber grommet there btw. The second time about 3 weeks later was under the secondary? heatshield above the back pipe, this has 3 rubber grommets under that vanity plate. Both times my Honda dealer replaced it for free... Thank goodness for cool Honda dealers! Oh, gonna stick some loc-tite in those pesky screws on top of the engine mount too...
