Had the same problem with my 04 RX1. RPM dropped about a 1000 RPM. Tried everything, changed clutch springs, rollers, secondary bushings. Final cure was the primary bushings and they didn't seem that bad, changed them problem solved.

I'm embarrased to say I have a 2005 BWS. I put on about 5,000 KM (3,000 miles) per year. It is completely stock and now has close to 12,000 KM (7,200 miles) on it. Not sure how that little 50 cc motor can stand up but it's been bullet proof. Gets about 90 MPG (Canadian bigger gallon) So...

You will hear them. Sounds like a ticking or knocking sound. Mine at first you could hear it when it was cold and it would go away when hot. After it was there all the time.

Where did you hear that oil has a shelf life. I have about a year supply of mobile one in my garage. Please tell me it isn't going bad in the container. :o| :o|

Had the same problems with 04 RX with a lot more miles. RPM would drop to about 9400. Turned out to be secondary bushings.

Change it now. Used oil builds up acids and will pit the bearing is left in for storage.

Definately check it when it's hot. It's a dry sump system, when it sits the oil will drain back into the block and give you a false low. If you fill it when it's cold it will be overful by about a 1/2 a quart. Check it when it's hot and within 5 minutes of shutting if off. It's not like a...

Does this happen only when you plug into the cig lighter plug. I spliced it in under the cover and doesn't blow fuses. I only have about 5 or 6 rides on it that way but no problem yet.

Anyone know what colour wires go the fuel pump relay ???? I changed the 3rd one in from the outside. I was told that was the fuel pump relay. Like to make sure.

Careful boyz. You do need to clear it through US Customs. They stamp the title. Canada Customs will not allow you to bring a vehicle back without being cleared through US Customs. The reason from the 72 hours lead time for US Customs is for them to check to make sure it is not stolen or...

Careful about skipping step two. I know someone who was turned away because of no notice at the border. May depend on the crossing and the mood of the US custom agent. Play it safe and fax them a copy.

I have brought back a Goldwing summer of 06 and an 06 Apex August this year. It is a piece of cake. If you type in RIV (Registar of Import Vehicles) on the internet it will tell you everything you need to know. 1) Purchase sled 2) Fax the title or if in state with no title bill of sale to...

False Alarm. When I bought this machine it had 26 miles on it. I assumed it was stock. Took it apart today. It had Attack springs primary and secondary and the secondary was wound to 6 + 1 (7)... I think the norm is 3 and 3. In any event put stock springs in and wound the secondary to the...

Yes it holds there because it hits the rev limiter.

Went out today now have 250 miles on the sled. It now is going to 11,200 and hitting the rev limiter. Don't think it's the conditions decent hook up on pack fire guard roads. Need to do something to get the revs down a bit. I assume clutch weights ?????

Put the first 150 miles on new 06 Apex ER. The few times during break in that I did pin it found that it would stay at about 11,000 RPM. Seems a little high to me. I think it is supposed to be at about 10,500. Am I loosing power reving a bit high ???? Or is it high ????

Thanks 1xr that's an interesting tip trimming the tabs off.

With my RX1 in deep powder I always had trouble with snow getting in the air box where the motor would starve for air and bog. Simple just shake the snow out of the filter and good to go again. Does the Apex have the same problem in powder. Because you can't get at the filter to clean the...

DONE.... Wired to the back of the cig lighter.

Would there be anything wrong with wiring it direct to the back of the cigarette plug???? It is already fused.
