On my way home after work my '86 Helix shut down. It was running fine, plenty of gas, spark plug tight, wouldn't re-start. It just clicks. Battery tests at...
Try removing the battery cables from the battery and cleaning the terminals and cables. I have seen cable connections that looked clean and were tight but had...
You have to test the battery under load,if I'm not mistaken. If you just testedit sitting there, that doesn't tell you anything. Chances are, it's the battery....
I have found a 2005 helix for sale with 6K well kept miles. Is that alot of miles for one of these machines??? Any thoughts on a fair price for this clean...

I dont think that it is from what I have been reading on here. Some people seem to be getting over 100K. I think the water cooled engine makes the big...
HELP!! I seem to be getting 63 MPG most of the time, seldom see 60 mph,take off slowly, coast a lot..tires are up to limit, new by- starter, new air cleaner,...
... I would think you're doing fairly well. Although I haven't ridden my old Helix enough to measure fuel mileage, I've had a few CH250's, they're lighter by...
Something does seem fishy about that battery. If the engine is stopped, a normal battery isn't going to show 14 volts. Even if it is being charged at 14V, as...
Most everyone is getting under 70mpg. I get 65mpg. It also depends on your terraing, hills kill mpgs. gil ... 60 ... final ... my ... mpg. ... mine, I ... come...
Ed, Need more info. What was your usual MPG and MPH? 60 does seem mighty slow for a stock set up. I have a Malossi set up with 13g weights and my top end...
I have a 2004, and just coming up on 3600 miles, and my mpg varies a bit, but stays around 65-70mpg, but I have noted that I do get a bit better mileage with...
This doesn't sound normal based on my experience. I'm about 225 lbs and ride a wide variety of speeds-a fair amount of stop and go with a fair amount of WOT...
My Helix is a new leftover 2006 with 2800 miles. Tires are inflated to Honda specs. Engine is operating like new..... i.e. perfectly smooth idle and...
Frank, Where you are, have they recently added ethanol to your fuel? If so, that will account for a reduction in mileage. Ethanol has no advantages as it's...
Check the clamp that secures the carb to the intake. I had taken my carb off and when I reinstalled it I placed it at the easiest place. That caused the carb...
Frank is in Florida so I don't think they use ethanol yet. I have a liter mate to his HH from the same dealer here in Arkansas. Mine has 2500 miles on it and I...

I've recently noticed that my '87 HH (12,000 miles) has a new "feature" which, I think, shows up early in a ride. If I'm straight and level at about 45 MPH,...
Bill, Look for black smoke coming from the exhaust when you detect the power loss (if you can while riding). If yes, then the bystarter may be the cause or ...
Thanks for posting this information. I live in Phoenix and am hoping to buy a used helix. I kept reading about rear tires lasting for 5k miles, and was...
My guess would be that your variator rollers are developing a flat spot (no grease?) and not letting the roller "roll" to the very top of the variator. Mike in...
Mike: Your diagnosis, if accurate, is surprising (and disappointing) to me given that Honda has a reputation for high quality. Since my Helix is still under...
