I've been with Primum for about 4 or 5 years. The cost has gone down twice since I've been with them. I found them very reasonable & easy to deal with over the phone. I was hooked in with them via TD insurance. I have home & Auto with TD so I get a discount on all three for having them all w...

So, I decided to pay the price and find out for myself... I got the official Honda Service manual (specific to the model) and the Honda Common Service Manual. I would not recommend the Common service manual. While very intersting, it is rather expensive for what you get. Indeed many of the items tha...

Best Job: Snowboarding Instructor: working outside 6 days a week all winter; great excesize, almost everyone you deal with is happy and it is usually easy to make the unhappy ones happy. It doesn't pay much but when you aren't teaching you get to ride! I'll be out there again next winter. Worst Job:...

About #1: my new battery came with a plastic jug of clear liquid too: however it was Sulfuric acid! All the more reason to be careful. You need to pour it very slowly to ensure that you don't overfill. Also good to have some baking soda handy to neutralize any spills.

I guess the correct term is "crankcase breather drain tube." Don't know why they usually have it plugged. It is highly unlikely that anything without legs could get that far up and forward though the tube. Thanks for the help.

In case any other Honda CM200T (or similar model) owners find this thread, here is the short story: it is under the right-hand crancase cover; it is recommended that the oil pump b...

Just to wrap up this thread: I finally got the Clymer manual in the mail yesterday. It did detail the adjustment on the two ends of the clutch cable but the focus was only on getting the correct amount of free play in the clutch lever. In response to the symptom of creeping it suggests ensuring that...

Thanks for your help, flyinrider, and also for being so quick... it sounds like this is just normal. I'll check against the manual when it arrives. But for now it sounds like my wife is ready for a long overdue first spring ride!

http://www3.sympatico.ca/szwarc/clutch_cable.jpg So, here is the closest thing I could find to what you describe. It is right at the end of the cable. As I adjust it to make it "longer" it does appear to pull the clutch lever. However, after testing, the bike still has some creep. Couldn'...

I have the aftermarket manual on order... not sure if I will get the "official" manual yet. Yes, I understand that the clutch lever and cable are at issue (or at least that I what I hope). I understand from the owner manual that I need to keep a bit of "play" at the lever. I adju...
