There's a bearing in the Hondamatics that can go south. He has a fix.
You do have to tear down the motor to fix it IF that's the problem, but it's a lot cheaper to do it now before it 100% croaks. Once that happens it's $1200 new Hondamatic time.
I wouldn't ride it anymore till you check with him. You might be able to fix it now. If it is that bearing and it goes all the way you junk the Hondamatic completely.
