Same on two 1982 Cx500T and 1983 Goldwing ………….40 and 39 years old respectively.

That is not true……..the brake fluid in the ABS unit is flushed with a conventional bleed. There maybe an ounce or less that is not moved. That small amount will move or circulate with the key pump run, solenoids cycle, pressure build and self check. If you were really overly concerned you...

Honda recommends brake fluid change/flush at 2 years or 12,000 miles for most of the models. There is no mention of line or rubber hose service or interval other than visual inspection. Brake fluid change is likely one to the top maintenance items that is ignored. Reason it can be complex and...

There’s is no special software or scan tool required to bleed brakes for maintenance or when parts are replaced. Most will use a vacuum to bleed the system. Hand power or air powered are the most common. The pump the brake levers method is the most tedious and might take two people...

120ZB ………..means one size chain fits many ……..when the installer sizes the chain to the needed length. That part number fits at least 20 models over at least 12 years.

Might have to wait years ( if ever) with the current Russian situation ?????
