Rear tire blowouts seem to be a fact of life on these bikes, although they happen rarely. I've had one on my Helix, and maybe three on motorcycles. I find that...
I wish I had a better memory of the actual fall -- just a side effect of getting smacked around, I guess. I don't have any head injuries and I was feeling...
Let me add a 'ditto' to that. You had an angel on your shoulder that day! By the way, I swear by Bridgestones. ~Susan in New Jersey~ "It is not for us to...
As much as i hate to do this, im going to part out my 2000 Helix. It has 24k on it, driveline is good, but the engine is dead. The crankshaft and head are...
thanks, mike for welcoming me. I have a 1986 honda helix. It is pearl white, and I will be taking pictures and posting them later. It is pearl white and has...
Just to repeat for newbies: Helix rear tire valve stem is absolutely critical to safety; it's an angled brass valve stem, and sometime a shop will replace the...
I started MY HH life in San Bernardino !!! LOL I used to tide the I-10 from San Berdu to L.A.; EVERYDAY !!! I too had an 86 at that time. The 86 was THE BEST...
I bought the scooter with 14K a month ago. Ran fine down freeway at 65 for 100 mile ride home. Recently I was on the freeway at 65 and it began cutting out. I...
It could be the carburetor. That's the heart of the engine after all. When I got my good Helix, it could barely do 55mph (before I triked it). I put the carb...
Check the spark plug cap! They do come loose and will cause this problem. Make sure it is seated on the plug good and the high tension wire is screwed into...
SMALL WHEELS, SPINNING VERY FAST, LOTS OF CENTRIFUGAL FORCE. If it were a straight stem, it wouldn't matter, but because it's bent, it's trying to fall over...
86 & 87 HH with steel wheels require rubber stems. Metal stems require a flat spot inside the wheel to snug up against. Steel wheels don't have that flat spot...
Honda sold the steel wheels with rubber stems and the cast wheels with metal stems. Despite the rubber gaskets included with metal stems, attempting to...
Oh, righto man!!! Sorry, I forgot about those STEEL wheels. You are absolutely correct, don't try to use those screw in valve stems with the steelies, even...
Well, I got that tire/valve that way on my parts bike with a still good ML16 on it. I don't know how many miles was put on the tire before I got the bike and...
Oh, okay. We're talking about THOSE specific metal valve stems... okay, now that makes sense. But I still wonder about the metal ones I have with a large...
Every cast aluminum rim I've ever examined (motorcycle,scooter, or automotive.) has a flat spot cast into the rim as a surface to tighten metal valve stems...
I've run the Michelien Bopper also. And the Reggae. Both GREAT tires. Really stick to the road, last longer that many, and reasonably priced.  Ed...
I am a proponent of the Bridgestone ML16 & ML17 tire set for the HH. The ML16 rear tire has a more square profile than most scooter tires. Subsequently, it may...
mrj, I gotta tell u both I think u spend to much time worryin ur computer and not enough on the road. Ive ridden a helix from Milw to HSV, AR and back 15000...
