Here's some info on the 500 Interceptor problems which someone asked
for recently. I got it from Cycle World magazine.

Their test bike had the connecting rod for the right rear cylinder fail.
They don't know why, and this is not the main problem affecting the
Interceptor.

The main problem was a crankshaft defect which could lead to breaking.
Apparently Honda recommended keeping the revs under 10,000 until it is
replaced. Affected serial numbers in USA except California are:
#0001839 through to #0002779, or some 1200 bikes.
