Replace Rear Shock. Honda decided the rear shock was a wear item, not a warranty item, but I only paid cost ($300) for the shock. I also decided that after 50,000 miles, it was probably a good time to service the forks. Replaced seals and shock fluid. $700.00
 
Why do they track all that maintenance on service department computers when we have Phil?

Seriously, thanks for the summary Phil. It will be helpful to a bunch of us.
