Or make them so cheap that you just throw them away after one use. We are in a throw away world now.

It is a good idea to have one. I keep a small can on my bench and put the funnel on top of it to drain and then blast clean with brake clean. Funnels are like tools, different types for different uses.

Thanks. Good information to have if needed.

Let us know if it works.

A little of this will fix it right up.

Adding a rear sway bar willy nilly, especially to a pickup, is dangerous.
Zero does nothing willy nilly. 😉

That is a interesting backrest for those who ride two up.

If I replaced them, I’d want the strongest springs I can fit rather than a straight replacement just to find there is no improvement.
Just remember, putting stronger springs on the rear of that super light truck is going to make it ride like it has no springs.
If you can find a helper spring that only comes into play when the spring is compressed would be one way not to hurt the ride as much.

On my laptop, there is something called night light that dulls and darkens things.

With 67k I'd suggest checking the valves. The Honda trained guy is an idiot. They might be fine, but if they go tight you'll be coming back to ask how much it costs to remove and repair the cylinder head.
We should start a poll to see how many have had the valves checked.

If the cars were two door, they would be more desirable but it always amazes me the lack of rust. I bet they would get a lot more interest if they would show more photos and details.

stock gearing. my apologies on the fpr update mistake. i was referring to the higher pressure for the 01-03 bikes (which mine is).
i should also mention all 3 of my birds ('97 jetted & full yoshi, '00 stock & my current '03 with yoshi slip ons) have had similar fuel economy.
Sounds like a right wrist problem. 😃

Yea, it sucks. Most people I talk with come around, but some are convinced that anything less than the suggested million dollar repair is "cheaping out" and not going to be a proper repair. They've been conditioned to accept the dealer rape and as long as the car keeps running they're content.
I've had a couple customers say "hey, my car is still dirty. When the dealer fixes it they give me a free car wash."
"So sorry, you didn't say that you wanted the dealer experience. Add another $300 to that payment while I go hit the $7 car wash."
How do you charge, by the hour or job?

I told them I had a hunch, no guarantees, $1300. I had the ABS module repaired and that cured everything.
Couldn't grab one from the junk yard?

How quickly we forget the adventure of having points/condensor fail randomly in the middle of the night or water getting into the cracked piece of shit distributor cap... Then you get your old five-cell Maglight and try to balance it on the fender while trying to avoid it shorting out the battery. You're five minutes into finding your sandpaper and some cleaner when the light goes dim....dimmer...oh no. Now you use your remaining battery life to find more batteries in the trunk, where you find them rusty from the leak in those shitty 70s seals. You use the sandpaper to clean them just in time to get your light back. Clean the points, and nothing. Oh, is the condenser shorted, is the cap bridging? Did the coil just randomly fry?
Good times.
As a Cuban, you should be able to see the advantage of simplicity and the ability in keeping a car running. 😉
Yes, new stuff works better but like said, when it doesn't, diagnosing can be pretty tough without expensive equipment and much knowledge.

Beside regular fruit, for those that like fruit yogurt (yes, watch the sugar) it is really good stirred in after cooking oats.
