  1. It is going to be expensive. I aquired a J&M system for the three items you mentioned and just installed it yesterday. I decided that the J&M instructions are worthless. Got the MP3 player going fine and it sounds real good but havent been able to figure out why the cell phone does not work or the radar detector either. It is suppose to turn the MP3 down low when the cell rings in but it doesn't. Plus you have to have a cell phone with auto answer, which I do but it answers but no connection to the headset and the mp3 keeps on playing. Will be calling J&M tomarrow for help. Think their system is about $400.00 and the Autocom is close to the same cost.

    Will be posting my results when I get it straightened out.

  2. replaced my crush washer for the first time at 18,000 miles. Never leaked but bought a 6-pack for .90 cents from Honda just because we all should.

    Talking with a Honda mechanic, he told me no problem reusing the old one BUT you have to tighten the drain plug tighter and the threads at the bottom on the motor are not real strong, so the crush washer just makes it so that you dont have to tighten the plug so tight.

    For the .15 cost it is worth replacing, least I will from now on.

  3. If Honda will cover it under warranty (free) then get it done. If not dont let them touch it. You can buy the CCT for under $30.00 and replace it yourself in less than an hour. 15 minutes if you are fast. Easy job that even I can do. Email Joe about the X11 CCT and see if he can get you the better X11 one.

    Honda will charge you an arm and a leg for nothing. Buy it and do it yourself.

  4. I spoke with Muzzy a few minutes ago. They claim that they have tried to make a fan for the Bird but not able to make it work properly. Something about the motor and fan as a molded unit. Not able to make a fan to fit the Bird. :cry:

    Was worth a try tho.

  5. The Muzzy Blades are all 5 bladed as compared to the stock at 4, I think ?? Suppose to have a slightly different angle of the dangle also for a 50% increase in air volumn I am told. I will email Muzzy tonight and hope for a reply tomarrow on details. Hope you are right on a model as direct replacement for the BIRD.

    Will post results when I get them.

  6. Leave your teeth alone. La Chomper is running stock chain and sprockets and I followed him all over the Dragon and the Cherahola Skyway at the Hoot, that is except when I went Off Roading myself for a while. :-)

    And D2 slowed up and Watched and didn't even follow along. Guess he doesnt have the off road contol I did that day. I didn't go down but decided I need a new suspension system for my next off road adventure.

  7. I have looked into a bigger better fan blade myself but have not had any luck. Muzzy makes a bunch of 5 blade fan replacement blades but they do not list one for the BIRD.

    My local shop said they could take out my fan and replace the 4 bladed one with a muzzy 5 bladed one but would have to match up the width and diameter and re-drill new holes to mount it.

    I am looking for a Bird fan that has stopped working and is going to be thrown out, so I can take the blade out to use as a stencil to match up with a 5 blade Muzzy blade. Then I will replace mine.

    Guess I should place a want ad. in the selling thread.

    Will do it now. Thanks for reminding me !!

    South Florida stays mostly in the 80's and 90's all year round.

    Sunny South Florida has recieved 4 inches of rain in the last two days :cool:

  8. Only took me 2 1/2 hours..... Only !!

    Got a brand new DID ZVM530 Chain on and

    new stock SunStar front and rear sprockets.

    Wasn't to bad to do. Did have to remove the lower plastic

    to get the new front sprocket on.

    Now just finished cleaning and polishing and WTF !!

    It starts to rain......!!!!!!

    Oh well all done and shinny waiting for the sun to come back out.

  9. Give Jaws an email at www.jaws-motorcycles.co.uk and he will get one right out to you at the right price. Only takes a week to recieve. That is where mine came from. I really like it and the fit was perfect.

  10. Very Cool and I mean your engine temps !

    I would like to get my engine temps down below 180 when cruising.

    The Bird is said to run higher temps normally but was told at Honda that boil over and damage does not begin till almost 300 degrees ! Now that is HOT.
