Hi all,
I have been reading the posts and wanted to ask a question. We have this bike
at the Honda shop right now. When we bought it, it wasn't running. They
cleaned the carborator, put in a new battery tweaked the sticking throttle and
some other minor stuff. The bike had been sitting about two years. Gas still
clean and no rust in tank. The bike had been dumped and gear shift was bent
and a dent in the tank. Nothing really major. The shop took it out for a spin
and said it started off fine but when it got to top speed it cut out and lost
power. They recleaned the carborator and did another run. Still the same
thing. Now they are saying something about the compression and timing. My
question is what do you think would cause the engine to lose power when brought
to top speed. I will also have to lower the bike because I am only 5'2". What
kind of cost am I looking for this to be done. Sorry to seem so ignorant but
have motorcycle
license but don't think a two-day course prepares me for the highway and
around town. This is my first two-wheel bike, as we have a trike. Way
different animal. My idea of tinkering with bike is to take to a mechanic. I
do realize I need to learn how to tinker with my own bike to keep in shape but
this is my bike to learn how to ride on and I really don't know what questions
I should be asking Honda dealership about the length of time taking to fix bike
and what really is going on. I do do the checkout on the trike.
Thanks for your help.
