Doesn't sound like a bad price for Honda, but still there was no need to have it done.

If the work is because of the recall then surely it should be free

Ruskopeko,

Take a look at this thread

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=608031

Mine's going in for the buzzy clutch next week, and the service bulletin clearly states that if you have a warranty it's free! If no warranty then it suggests that a good will payment from the dealership maybe applicable. Stratford Honda want to charge me
