I want to add a Power Commander to Pliskin's list. It really is a must for this bike. I've done most of these updates as well as adding the...
I happen to own an '86 750 in mint condition along with an '07 800 and the two bikes are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Last summer I did a...
If you find one that hasn't been thrashed and you continue the maintenance on it, then you shouldn't have any problems with it. I've owned a...
I went through this nightmare 5 years ago. Here is how I finally got through it....
That part is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I wish I had an extra one for you. I'll keep a look out in my daily parts searches.
The earlier bikes had a harsher transition compared to the later ones. I believe Honda smoothed it out and raised the engagement point in 2006....
The bike looks great - practically new. How many miles did you get it with? If it doesn't have a Power Commander on it, then get one installed...
New York State is the land of taxes, but the motorcycle registration fee is pretty cheap. I have all 4 of my bikes registered and the cost of...
It definitely looks like a great starting point for a restore - it's mosting intact. The '86 500 is at the top of my list of favorites. I look...
It can be addictive. What are you riding? Welcome to the forum.
My oldest son will be moving from his CRF150 to the CRF230 in the next year or two. I'm planning to replace my XR650R with a CRF450X when the FI...
Those are the only instances that my front end has ever left the ground. The nice thing about it is that you don't have to back off as the power...
I have been Honda brand loyal since I was 16 years old. I had an ATC200X that I bought brand new and 18 months later, out of warranty, it...
I like it except for the tank. The lines from the lower should have carried up across the tank.
The PCV comes with a stock map, so you could use that for the short term. I'm running it on mine and it is very good.
Yes, it is!!! As Guj noted, the FI is very snatchy in low speed, low RPM situations. At 30-35 MPH in 3rd gear, the bike will literally go into a...
I believe that some of these modern day bikes might be able to hit that speed, but in the rain??? I don't know. I've ridden in the rain not...
I'm glad you like your bike Michael. For the first 5 years, all I did was add 2 teeth to the rear sprocket and installed a Speedo-Healer. Just...
It actually doesn't look that bad afterall. I bet that even after you put some elbow grease into it, it'll look even better. When I did mine, I...
Nice. I can't wait to see the progress and the final result. I have an '86 R that I put back to showroom condition a few years ago now, but it...
