I have an AN400 and I'd concur with everything Eric says here. I fitted the aftermarket Givi screen to mine which solves the wind blast problem. I would...
I am going to order the Bridgestone ML16 and 17 from American Moto. The price for each is $37.40. Good price. There is also another ML 16 and 17 tire on each...
Two things w/valve stem: Access for filling and checking, and safety. Access is not easy in any case - it's best with the long rigid filler nozzle w/angled...
We used 145 in our cranes and forklifts. The only problem would be cold weather. It would be very, very thick until it warmed. Thermal expansion shouldn't be a...

Does anyone know if the $28 Helix rack on ebay will install with an OEM upper passenger backrest? I'd like to have both installed at the same time but I can't...
I have a 1994 Helix. I love riding it. However, first thing in the am, it is hard to start. Any other time, it starts fine,even after sitting at work all day....

Cubey, No, the $28 e-bay rack requires the removal of the upper passenger back rest. There are many racks available that fit the HH but most require that you...
I hope someone here knows what the difference is. I went to the American Moto tire site to check on the Bridgestone ML16 120/90-10 ($51.44) rear tire and...
Cubey is exactly right! Although the 400 has less width, it has more height and will NOT fit in the wheel "wheel" of the HH. SORRY :( Mike in Indiana U.S.A....
Have similar problem except... It always starts right up. Go 10" or 100yards, dies. Repeats until it;s "warmed up." What should i be looking for. Also, since I...
Also, stay FAR away from Kenda tires. I have put maybe 300 miles on one and it's already gotten a puncture! It looked like it just grazed something small but...

According to the various metric/standard tire conversion sites I visited, 4.00 is a narrower tire than a 120/90. And technically 4.0 inches is narrower than...
New problem this morning. One my way to work, the engine seemed to be running rough - hesitating, and surging. Hoping that it was only because the engine was...
My first thought is water in the fuel from overnight condensation. If the tank is only partially full, overnight cool temps can cause atmospheric moisture to...
My thoughts are on the float valve in the carb. Seafoam should solve that if, indeed, it is sticking. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
