The tie rod it self won't be loose. The tie rod ends will be. Check those they should'nt have any play. Jason

Like it should twist. You shoud not have movement up & down or side to side. Jason

Check with Honda about the recall, only a certain number of bikes are getting called for the tie rods. Honda cuaght the problem after a few thousand units. If you have an electric shift and your having problems with the readout blinking, check about getting the angle sensor replaced, Honda did a quiet recall on those cause of a faulty manufacturer.
