Re: Center stand FAIL

o_O

Thats not good. It's either a fault in the design or bad casting, neither is acceptable. I wonder if this is going to become a common failure.

Lucky you were there to catch it or you would have quite a bit of damage to the panels as well.

Has anybody ever ridden/driven one of these? Honda Stream 50cc 3 wheel. I'm almost tempted.

Re: CBS fluid top up.. how?

You say in another post that you've done 3000 miles but not had a service. The first service is at 600 miles then 2500 then every 2500 after that. If you miss these services you won't be getting your scoot checked over properly, also you will invalidate your warranty - get to the Honda dealer you bo...

You could try these blue ones: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Long-Wheel-Valve-Lights-Truck/dp/B002P7YJB2 They might make car drivers think there was an emergency services vehicle coming and clear a path for you when you're filtering :lol: I doubt you would get busted for using valve lights.

Re: What topbox do you have

I've got the 26ltr Honda box. I can fit a box of 12 cans of lager in mine :) This might help you judge the size you need. I have a Givi E340 Vision (34 litre) on mine with the obligatory mount and plate kit. Mine was dealer fitted at the right price to keep me happy. Do you know if the 34 litre box ...

Re: Winter Oil

I understand about the 0w 5w 10w etc. weight thing.

I wonder why 0w X isn't the recommended oil for all engines? It would seem to be a very obvious way to reduce engine wear - or perhaps I've just answered my own question - there's more money to be made with more engine wear.

Re: Winter Oil

I've just being trawling through the net for more info on this and I've come to the conclusion that what you do is put the oil in that honda recommends and forget about it :) As maddiedog says just let your engine run a bit before setting off to allow the oil to get around the engine - I do this any...

Re: PGM-FI Problems.

The dealer fixed it when they freed the cable, though I'm not sure they knew they had fixed it as they ordered a new part for me. Their parting words were "take it easy" meaning speed wise - thinking I still didn't have the use of the speedo. When I left the garage everything was working a...

Re: Winter Oil

Well I've got some 10w30 now so I may as well use it. I change the oil half way between services so the engine'll have 10w40 back in in 1250ml or so. Fingers crossed we won't be getting temps lower than -10 this winter but we have for the last two - I wonder what oil you would use then. I'm pretty s...
