Hey all, Anybody here in Portland area that needs to get the service on their big bike done before the big ugly starts and doesn't have access to a garage pipe up. I've got two hydraulic electric hoyer lifts that can lift a combined total of right at about 1000 lbs so servicing the axles, hubs, drive lines, brakes and headstock bearings is a snap. You would need to be able to finish the job all at once, i.e. not leave it hanging for days but for those of you like me that have just had it with 100.00+ an hour to remove all that plastic and have all the parts and specialty tools collected already sing out. I generally work Sunday through Thursday nights 8PM to 8AM but I might be able to make it available on a weekend day as well. Unfortunately this won't be for very much longer as I've got to clear it out for its' regular winter occupant but I shouldn't be needing it until October so I thought I'd make it available for anyone here that needs to. As I say I've got the lifts but also have a crappy 26 gallon HF compressor so if you need air that's handled as well, just be sure to have any specialty tools your bike may require.

Since I own one, I can add some insight corrosion - haven't noticed anything, my bikes serial number 4xxxx so this might be the case, but dealers bike was 3x and had no problems either. Could be that there is just one patch that has faulty spokes etc. buttons sicking: yep, happened to me too. I used hair-dryer to get rid of the water inside the housing. This happened after a really heavy rain storm. I have ridden in the rain before, but this happened when it was just pouring heated grips: known issue, but I asked the dealer and he said that yes they had a problem with one bike out of 10. And the bike belongs to Honda Baltic. Technician found the problem fast and said that nothing major was actually wrong. I don't know what the issue was, he didn't clarify. rear rack - no problems there (my bike has been in day to day use since April, 7000km is on the clock) sensor replacement - don't know, I haven't had problems throttle control - no jerkiness. I rode friends 990 and they are about the same, maybe Honda is a little bit smoother. I was afraid that throttle is jerky and I'm happy that it's not. clutch cable - haven't had any problem, but I read about it in facebook I will add another thing: RNS - I had my remote changed because it didn't work after first rain. And now after the same storm that made my SET button sticky, the RNS doesn't work either. I don't believe that Tony form RNS send me another faulty unit, I think the dealer messed up something when it was installed. I think the water can get in. I don't have any spare time right now to take the bike apart, but I will. Probably to take the RNS Tripmaster off for good. Overall I really like the bike. Me and my friend both are n00bs in the adv world and learning to ride off-road. I have a youtube channel and I try to upload atleast once a week. http://youtube.com/fltatk Must of my riding is with my mate who has KTM 990 Adventure
