Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

''Implied Merchantability''
I bought a new Honda '05 450CRFX off-road motorcycle that doesn't have a warrantee. Within 20 hours of operation it suffered a major transmission failure causing the rear wheel to lock up at speed. I didn't fall and wasn't hurt, but someone will be. Honda denied any ''good will'' repair. The cost of the repair was $1,000.00. By research on the web, it becomes obvious that the problem is the bike can't ride on flat roads (paved or dirt) with the amount of transmission oil that the manual specifies. The fix is more oil, but Honda won't put out a bulletin for fear of the liability. My question is: In California, isn't there some type of implied warrantee that makes it very difficult for a manufacturer to produce a product for profit and then be able to wash their hands even if it substantially fails at producing the result the consumer expected as consideration for his purchase? If so, what is that law specifically?

Thank you in advance for your consideration of my question, Sincerely, --name removed---name removed--
