The winter temps do a couple of things that affect mileage: 1. the motor takes longer to warm up, all the while using much a richer mixture 2....
just my 2 cents: "dark" smoke is usually gas; burning oil is bluish white. Dark smoke usually indicates too rich. I'd check the air cleaner,...
Since you say the code says it's the control unit, I'm assuming you have the Honda shop manual? It lists codes by # of blinks, 2-15. Blinks 8-13...
Congratulations! You'll probably be amazed at the smoothness and handling, too. Hope you get some nice days to ride. Geron
If you know what you want, now through winter is the time to buy. People aren't riding as much, a lot of folks are short of money right now. The...
I watched e-bay, Craigslist and the local paper for over a year, and saved money while I did it. Finally found my '04 ABS nearby, for a very...
Chris, Hope surgery went well. I bet you're doing a bunch of rehab these days. If you get a chance, send an e-mail and let me know how you're...
I think Mello Dude is right, but here's another option: use DOT 4, and just change it out every couple of years. It's easy to flush the clutch...

I'm 51, married (wife isn't crazy about bike), 4 kids - all grown and married, except the last which we take to college tomorrow. I'm a church...
a friend of mine lost the end of a finger lubing the chain on a VFR... The older I get, the more I realize what can happen in about 1 second of...
I found out by accident trying to set the clock..... before I had a manual.
Mine ('04) does it for the speedometer; not sure if it converts the miles to km's on the odometer. Check the owner's manual. It's a combination...
Guys, In my opinion, the shaft makes it better. Sabres and Magnas (first V4's) had them in the 80's - almost no maintenance or adjustments, no...
Congratulations! I always thought that the '90-'91 bikes were some of the best-looking.
Hey, I thought the asphalt black was only an '04 color. She's calling that bike an '05. Bet you guys didn't even notice the bike....
Guys, My 2 cents: yes, a small blip off the throttle drops the rpms quick enough for a clutchless upshift under light or moderate...
