Simon,
Doesn't sound like a crap bike to me but rather a crappy dealer that is not servicing you correct.
Don't know were it all happened but I would simply write to the national headquartes from Honda. See what they have to say about the service.
I personally have a great dealer nearby. A guy who loves travelling, off road, sand, Africa,... In other words we get along.
I know the HISS is tricky but didn't know about the altitude sickness. Might replace the thing on my next bike.
I've been in the sand, seen mud, endless k's of rain and the bike never stopped on me.
I have no reason not te buy one again.
And with the Honda chain that I am currently using I have about 25000k's done and no sings of wearing yet. Only had to tension it twice till know.
Pieter.
