| I bought this bike, looking for something reliable to get me to work on time, after my old CB750KZ hit the deck! What I didn´t realise was that I was probably better getting the Honda repaired! The list of problems has been endless and the dealer hopeless. Minor gripes: * Horn button too easy to press by accident, which I often do! * Gap between 2nd and 3rd gear way too much. Problems: Nah then... * Stanchion seal leakage (from new!). Rear stanchion retaining bolt almost impossible to remove. * Starter solenoid intermitant, then packed up. * Chrome wafer thin on handlebars and front mudguard, rust at the slightest whiff of water. * Suffers VERY badly in the cold from carb freezing to the point of almost being unsuable * Chain wear high even with regular lubing * Headlight bulb keeps blowing * Misc electric connectors rotted (already!) * Cable for rear brake seems to be designed to take in the maximum amount of salty water from the road (why didn´t they use a rod!!?) * Paint extremely thin, although finish is nice. * Plastic (yes plastic) "glass" on highlight prone to scratching. * Headlight back starting to rot. * Electrical wiring fault near battery causing short to ground, almost knackering the generator, because of incorrectly routed cable. By now you have probably guessed that I am not particularly pleased with this bike, particularly the carb freezing problem, which is due to very bad design! I bought it because it looked good and was economical and was under the impression that it would be reliable. It has been anyhing but! |
