Re: Intermittent Won't Start Problem - Only During Evenings

I'll give new plugs a whirl and see if it changes anything. Currently, the bike is still stranded at my girlfriend's office outside. I had mentioned to her that the bike always fires up in the...

2004 Honda 599
Current mileage at 18k.

Honda Grom 125 Headlight Swap

Has anyone attempted this swap or considered it? It appears to be a cheaper alternative to the LSL/Yamaha MT01 headlight swap that I know some folks have looked into. Based on my initial research...

Re: Headlight Mounting

FYI - ended up liberally applying PB Blaster to the screw, then drilling it out. The screw is a standard metric screw that I replaced with one from the local hardware store. Lesson to self - apply...

Re: To change or not to change...

I had the same dilemma

04 599 with around 8k miles, original rear tire- the pilot road 1. Still had easily another 4k miles on the tread, and I've always been a fan of the pilot road 1 (owned two...

I removed the two bolts holding in the OEM headlight on the 04 599 this past weekend, and found it near impossible to reattach them. It appears that the internal nut that the bolt threads into is...

Battery Installation

Just got a new YUASA YTX7L-BS battery and tried to install it.

Not sure if it fits properly as it didn't seem to slide all the way into the slot with the terminals hooked up.

Re: Soo... Ear Buds for riding?

I left my etymotic er6i on a flight several years ago, and have mourned the loss of those ear buds for a good while. Probably the best sounding ear buds that could sneakily fit underneath a helmet....

Re: Coolant Flush NEW

The coolant that came out of my 04 599 was nice and brown. Coolant probably wasn't changed at any time within the past 9 years.
