  1. Water pipe B 31 Oct 2018 18:53 Noticed that one of the connectors on my 99 FiX is a little worse for wear. Honda no longer make it!! But I noticed that the connector on a 2002 onwards appears to be the same, so I've taken a gamble and bought one. Has…

  5. Wheel balancer advice 1 Apr 2017 20:56 Tightwad thank you so much for the offer. Looks like I may have sorted it out. I turned the cones around and it works! Amazing what happens when you're half asleep from a night shift :-)
  6. Wheel balancer advice 31 Mar 2017 09:43 I recently purchased a black pro wheel balancer kit with the intention of stripping, painting and then installing new tyres. It looks like I've fallen at the first hurdle. The balancer doesn't seem to accommodate the…
  7. Deka ETX12 battery? 26 Feb 2017 20:51 Just my 2c, I have a Motobatt for mine when it's ready. Read rave reviews about them, and have had it for about 2.5 years, it's sat on the shelf waiting to be installed, has only lost about 0.1v in that time!

  13. Gas cap won't open on 5th gen 5 May 2016 10:24 You can strip it apart and put it through an ultrasonic bath if you have one. Did mine over Christmas with my Dad. It works an absolute treat now. There's a video on YouTube showing how to remove it. When I did mine it…
