So, I think I found the problem. When I first did the wiring I wanted a clean install. So when I tried to tap into the red/brown plug I tried tying my line in right at the connector. In doing so I tried to remove the actual wire from the plug so that I could tie my wire in there. In doing so...

Dale, I'll check that when I get home As for the ignition switch. I was searching the web last night for security torx bits and came across a posting somewhere where someone said that you can take a straight screwdriver and remove a security torx with it. So, I went out late last night and...

So I took the left side fairing off the bike so that I could get to the ignition circuit. I was not prepared for Honda to use torx safety screws to hold the electronics to the bottom of the tumbler so I was not able to remove it. So instead I hot wired the bike by bypassing the ignition (scary...

Well, over the long holiday weekend I tore the bike apart and did two things: 1. removed heated gear from circuit and just direct wired to the battery 2. still kept my pig tail off of the keyed circuit for the aux lights (on a separate handlebar switch too) but wired in a relay instead for...

yeah, from what I recall because I wasn't looking directly at the dash when it happened, all of the indicator lights came on and then went off all at the same time. Just like when you start the bike normally. The weather is turning nicer around here so I shouldn't need my heated gear. So, I...

the battery connections were tight so I'm not sure if that is it or not. When I got home I parked the bike and then later on had to move it down to my barn. The bike started right up, no problems and I got her into the barn. I turned it off and proceeded to turn it back on again and it did...

the other day I rode into work and along the way I feel like the bike started to shutter and out of the corner of my eye I think I saw all of the lights on the dash flash. I pulled the clutch in and revved the bike and everything seemed fine so I continued into work. When I was done at work, I...

I have givi mounts with 3 Trekkers. You stated that you didn't want the top mount but don't discount that option so fast. Without a top mount you are stuck with just side mounts only. If you spend the extra 100 it gets you a rack that you can tie stuff to and in those cases where you don't...

I'm on the fence about the warranty too. I have until Thursday to decide. My dealer, at the time of the sale, told me that the extended warranty, with tax included, would be $530 for the extra 48months w/o RA. The mailer I got directly from Honda a month ago wants $780 for standard and $902...

I had a little crash when I first got my bike and it would not start afterwards. I had to turn the key off and back on to get it going. Similar thing happened this weekend offroading, I tipped over on the bike and when I got it back up it did t want to start. I turned it off and back on and it...

Just wondering if someone can tell me whether the OEM centerstand, on the brake pedal side, has a dent in the upright? I did some fairly heavy offroad riding this weekend and was looking under the bike and saw a major scratch in the skidplate and right behind it on the center stand I noticed a...

This weekend in the Adirondacks (flat rock road area) and Old Forge no one had fire wood so we had to improvise so many windmills to look at, gorgeous

I think I was the second or third to buy this from him. It is a great looking product. Have had it on the bike for a month or two now and very happy with it. It has great styling and a very functional design. Installed in 5 minutes. As far as interference, my left fork touches it at full tilt...

here is my brand new Hondabikepro skidplate. Now all I need to do is get rid of the street tires for some dual sport tires.

Has anyone tried to buy OEM engine paint or had any luck matching the paint to something commonly found at a hardware store? I laid my bike down shortly after getting it and have some scratches on the left side cover and would like to touch them up. My dealer was of no help other than...
