What is the rating of oil in the final drive box? I use Honda GN4 10w40 in the engine but not sure what goes in the tranny (btw service manual is on the way...
Alan, My Helix service manual says 10W-40 for the final drive. Sorry we lost you coming back from Immokalee a couple weeks ago... hope to see you again with...
Alan, That cover fits tightly and I have had to apply some pressure to get it off. I inserted a hammer handle into the rear of the cover at the place where...
I've found an "on-line" parts manual for the CN250 (and masses of other bikes) but cann't find anything for a workshop manual. Is it a case of genuine Honda...
If your a member of the Honda Rider's Club of America, you get to look at one free service manual online per year HOWEVER, I found it is missing quite a bit....
Bo, Many of us use a 50/50 mixture of Mobil 1 (I use 20-50) and 80/90 wt gear oil. One member in California reported having over 200,000 miles on his tranny...

Get that thing tuned and let's go riding in the Spring! Last May, I rode out to El Paso. Fabulous ride! If you're having trouble getting the scoot to a higher...
I must be getting old, but I can't understand why Helix owners want to make their Helix go faster. My stock Helix will run a little over 70MPH and I have only...
Actually Tom, I agree. I don't want it to go faster... I want it to accelerate faster and climb hills faster. I don't ever see a need to go faster than 75MPH...
Very well written Mr. Wood... and I agree completely. I've often given the identical adivse and most often seen it go thru one ear and out the other... The...
