Hi guys! Just thought I would say hello. Just got my first bike, although I haven't been able to ride it yet because I had to leave it at the sellers because...
Send me $5 and I'll mail you the owner's manual, I have a shop manual and don't use it anyway. e-mail me at serpentinesurfer@... and we can iron out the...
A while back I sent a post about my '91's low-beam being intermittent, and Serp's diagnosis was correct (thanks!), that the low-only filament piece was bad,...
I was at a dealer today (see message 199), asking out of curiosity if they had any CB250 brochures. A very pleasant young man told me their word was that...
... Mailorder may be that much with shipping. Just to get some perspective on maintenance costs, my sales buddy at a local Honda dealer was upset because they...
... The 750 Nighthawk is gone (as are a number of their bikes*), but the 250 remains and is available at Honda dealers who choose to stock them. There have...
Hi all, recently had starting problems because of the batt -ve bending away from the terminal, anybody else experienceed this? I think the -ve is too thin,...
Mike - if we're lucky the CB250 will be replaced with Europe's CBF250, which looks sweet to me: http://www.honda-geneve.com/catalog/CBF250-2004.html It is a...
... Or, maybe unlucky. Good link, Carl, the site's pdf is the best info yet on the new CBF250. The CBF is now sold in Mexico as the CBX250. The bike seems to...
Good review, man. ... Interesting! Didn't know that. Hope it isn't made there, from what I hear about the new Beetle. ... But the oil cooler is not a regular...
I was checking my chain today, and I *think* it needs to be tightened just a bit. There's al ittle more than 1" play in the middle, and I can pull the chain...
Here's a partial reply - all I can help with. Adjusting the chain is not terribly difficult - follow the owner's manual instructions and you'll be fine. It...
I ran the gear ratios through my little spreadsheet program, and I come up (magically) with a maximum theoretical speed of 100.0 mph in 6th gear at 10,000 rpm...
... Ignore the stupid sticker, some lawyer probably made Honda put it there. If you lube the chain every 300 to 500 miles, you'll probably need to replace the...
... . . . ... In a way it makes sense if you are not going to manufacture a lot of something, that it will be expensive per unit. But a little standardization...
... My point is that complexity adds to the cost of the bike. How much more bike would you get for the same $$$ if you didn't have to buy mandated complexity,...
... It is not a Stanley light? ... You might want to check the price of Honda replacement parts. ... The pre-2001 headlight is a _sealed beam_ light, the bulb...
Follow up: yes, I know "theoretical top speed" may well not equal actual top speed. However, it does match for my CB250 Nighthawk. Also, the horsepower equates...
I agree with your point about SUVs; striking a balance between what they must contribute toward reductions and what m/c must contribute is just a matter for...
... But, where is the horsepower peak on the power curve? More importantly, where does the engine produce peak torque? If both are on the high rpm end of the...
... No, Carl, no, no, no. Fitting highway pegs to a CBF would be ridiculous, a criminal act... and I'm restraining myself. ;-) ... Looks define application....
I'm out of my element here, but I've acquired the impression that - all else equal - single cylinder bikes tend to produce their power down low, at the expense...
Nice try, man, but the cat's out of the bag. We small bore fans are in a beggars-can't-be-choosers market, and this bike is so much nicer than what's out there...
