It was several years ago but I'll try to find the info.
I've done some work with kevlar and it's much much nicer to work with than fiberglass. Just as another option.
I found my '96 on craigslist. I used this search tool that lets you search a whole state, say, instead of just a smaller area at a time: Craig's...
I tried earbud speakers once and hated it. It was distracting for me. On the other hand, I wear earplugs for any ride longer than five minutes. I...
Put some penetrating oil on it, let it soak in for a while (overnight) and try loosening it. The best stuff I know of is called Aerokroil, but if...
Might want to have a look at the rear suspension linkage, but with only 2200 miles it's hard to imagine there'd be a problem there.
Nice work. Reminds me of my old Beemer. I saw one of these in the flesh a few years ago at a BMW swap meet near Chicago. The guy had the bike with...
Not sure about your switch on an '86. My '96 has two parts to it; one part closes when you push the button, to start the motor; the other part...
Each taillight bulb has two filaments (the wires inside that glow): one for taillight (always on) one for brake light. The brake light filament of...
When I bought my '96 the PO told me he'd put "iridium plugs" and "kevlar brake pads" on. Are these Good Things or Snake Oil or ...? - Paul in MI
New riders need actual training. Even experienced riders benefit from training. I don't know if it's the manufacturers, the dealers or the...
I'm guessing that the black can like thing is your starter relay. Normally, when you hit the starter button, it closes the relay and the current...
I think this is what you're after: http://downloads.hondatech.info/Moto/Common/Honda_Common_Service_Manual.pdf HTH - Paul in MI
My suspect would be your low beam relay. You might try swapping the high and low beam relays and see if the problem is reversed, i.e. your high...
This may have been corrected in later editions, but my Service Manual has an error in the circuit diagram for the starter. The starter switch and...
The rear brake light switch (3) is down there by the lever (5), hooked to it by a spring (4). It's a cylindrical thing with a ring you can turn to...
There's a good article about the DN-01 in the British magazine Bike this month. (Best bike mag in the world, BTW.) The title is, "What the Hell is...
This is common. Most speedos read 'optimistic' by 5-10% or so. I believe it is a liability thing. My brother has an ex-police bike with a...
Hello and welcome. Thanks for posting your story. Sounds like you got a real find. Excellent decision to take the MSF course. And yes, definitely...
Wow I've got to try this downshitting technique... ;)
