There was a recall, starting march 2014 for rocker arm retaining bolt. My bolt came out when I was driving it, allowing shaft to come part way out along with some oil. Bolt is gone, but it looks like threads are ruined. I am glad engine did not lock up as it is a motorcycle.

What 2015 Honda CB500X owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Throttle response is very jerky and dangerous at slow speeds, throwing driver back on acceleration and forward when throttle is rolled off. I get thrown into opposing traffic when starting into right hand turn from stop on two-lane road and cannot drive slowly w/o jerking fast, then slow. There is no slipping the clutch for control and slow speed cannot be maintained. Either it is accelerating or decelerating, but there's no even, slow speed possible.
