When I cleaned mine up, I didn't remove grip or throttle cables. Just removed the switch housing.

Jacket and pants Olympia Airglides, about six years old; starting to show some fading and broke a zipper pull (easy fix, bought a new pull). Probably a couple years I'll replace, maybe sooner. They've been good, other than the pants seem to have shrunk slightly :lol: . Gloves; I've worn a multitude ...

Adjusted the valves?

If it was me I'd powder coat the frame.

The tool I think is called a Park tool or maybe that's who makes them (can't remember). Bicycle shops use a lot of those.

Yes the way the calipers are mounted are part of the Trac system, the rest of the Trac is inside the fork.

Good luck

Most dealers refuse to take on older bikes (for a multitude of reasons) and after my last experience with a dealer to do repairs, I won't go back to the Stealer. The options are find a reputable independent or do it yourself. Found an independent in my area that is an ex dealer service tech (worked ...

Looks like Western Honda has the part also (scroll to bottom of page)

I've heard these are good.....

High 30s' to mid 40s', depending on a multitude of things

Yours looks like mine

Presume you're going to drain the gas tank and flush it out?

Or hydrolocked, remove plugs and try to get the starter to turn it over....

That diagram isn't from the Honda service manual, so I can't help with your question. PM sent

Hope you heal up quickly sir!

If it's similar to mine (it runs very well) the mileage (km) will depend on the speeds or RPM. When I run above 3200 RPM the mileage will average 36-38 mpg (sorry I'm not metric smart), running below that will result an average of 38-42 mpg. I typically am two up also (fyi).

Might try these guys, if you haven't already

I've found some obscure parts there

Per this parts diagram there's only an 'A' rocker and a 'B' rocker.

The only printed manual information I've ever found is in a Lexus manual. Service: 7 years/70k miles, change them out. When thinking of rubber things it appears that all have a service life, but not all have an expires on date :shock: Most timing belts appear to fail as missing teeth, they are just ...

Where do you see the oil? I found small oil signs on the wheel and it wound up that the drive shaft seal on the motor was leaking into the differential area and was slinging onto the wheel. When I replaced the rear differential (due to splines wore out), I found a very nice used differential at a br...

SNIP The goal: When my wife and I do start making more significant trips I am positive will we end up encountering a wide range of conditions. We have a decent jack for her with removable rain liner and thermo vest, but no decent riding pants. The problem there is that she is short. Only 5' and not...

You might want to try Novus plastic polish, etc. They have three (1,2 &3) that are designed to restore the windscreen. It sounds from your description that you have a lot of very small scratches to create the 'halo' effect.

Have you checked to see, when it doesn't start, is the motor hydrolocked? Had this happen on mine and it wound up the carbs were leaking fuel into the pistons. Pull the spark plugs and try to start, if engine spins fine then either stuff flew out the plug holes or it didn't.

Could be a vacuum leak?

Mine had a paint mark

Pic may help?

SNIP
I also added some bulbs in a kit behind top trunk corner reflectors, but hardly noticeable.

Did you remove the silver paint from the inside? I've been told mine are I catching!

I'd start by checking all connectors in the neck area, based on the click click and the use of turning. Connector may be loose or broken, start by pulling in opposite directions, if it doesn't come apart, look for a locking tab. Once apart look for marks of solid contact on the male and female parts...

"Unknown relay", could go to the lights mounted to the engine guards. I think once you get a meter you may make more progress. Good luck and welcome!
