I took my 92 1500 on a fund raising ride on Saturday. The ride was about 130 miles in length. The weather was warm and the ride took us through several villages so there was a lot of long runs mixed in with slow stop and go through the villages. The water temp never went much past half but the...

When it's still cool in the mornings I thought the vent heat would be a nice option however I seem to be getting little or no air flow (hot or cold) from those lower vents. I've turned the vent knob to the open position and tried setting the little louver arm in either position but I don't seem...

It's been quiet on this forum so I thought I would ask a couple of questions about two items for the 1500 that I've seen on eBay. First - Front fork stabilizer - Looks like a nicely machined piece of aluminum that spans across both front forks. I've never seen a post about the front forks of...

Hi I wondering if on my 1992 SE if the front shocks are tied into the compressor or just the back? The reason I ask is on my 1100 Aspy there was a switch that allowed for independent pressure adjustment of the front or rear shocks. I don't see anything on the 1500 compressor that allows you to...

Hello, I plan on ordering and installing the rear speaker set below. My bike does not have a fader control so I am looking for suggestions as to there to mount the one shown. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

I had my new to me 1500 for about 1 month now and one of the issues it has is that there was an area in the instrument cluster that has got too hot and has melted. I started a thread about this and it appears it is the result of sun damage and a non-OEM windshield. I now believe it was sun...

The rear brake on my 1981 Interstate has always been weak in my opinion. I have replaced the pads and the rotor looks fine but you really have to push hard on the pedal to get much stop action. I don't think it would be possible to lock the rear wheel at running speed even if you wanted to. I...

I received my new to me 1992 1500 SE on Monday and I've been going over it and am learning a lot. There are a couple questions that I haven't found the answers for so here they are. I noticed that the right hand passenger storage compartment on my bike will not open. The previous owners said...

Hello, I've been around for sometime in the 1100 section however I just picked up a new to me 1992 1500 SE. The bike has 82,000 km and is in good condition. I'm looking forward to learning about this bike via this forum as I did with my 1100 so thanks in advance for all the help I'm sure I will...

The mirrors on my 83 Aspy project bike are loose at the pivot. I tried removing them and I see there is a screw which looks like it is meant to be used to tighten up the joint. I got about 1/2 a turn on one and the other would not move. The right side is better now but still pretty easy to...

Hello - The exhaust on my 81 has been an issue since I purchased the bike a few years ago. The cross over is gone and the PO filled the holes with muffler cement which actually has worked out ok. The drivers side has an exhaust leak right at the header/muffler connection. There is also some...

Just to summarize I picked up an 83 Aspencade last year with a blown heat gasket. I replaced the head gasket and timing belts. The bike started right up and seemed to run OK but I did not ride it as the tires were terrible. I moved on and dealt with some other issues and then got tires for it...

I have been working off and on and my 83 project bike since this time last year. I purchased it with a blown head gasket which I replaced. After I determined that the motor started and ran I noticed a bit of roughness at low speed, just off idle however I moved on and fixed up a few cosmetic...

I have a compression test gauge with one hose that does not fit my 1100. It has the quick connect feature so I should be able to purchase a hose or adapter that would fit the Honda. A quick eBay search shows many compression kits, some with 3 or more hoses and some specifically listed for...

My daily commute involves a lot of stop and go traffic and then a slow ride up to the 8'th level of a parking garage. On hot days because of the slow speed in the parking garage my fan usually comes on and stays on as I park the bike. It bothers me to shut down the bike with the fan on because...

My head light has become intermittent. Sometimes its on and sometimes its off. I pulled the electrical schematic for the bike and noticed that the power for the headlight passes through the starter push button. There is a normally closed switch which opens when you press the starter button. I...

My 83 Aspy project bike would not turn over when I tried it earlier in the month after sitting all winter. The starter was getting voltage but it was not drawing any current. There was no starter movement what so ever and there was high resistance between the starter's supply post and ground...

Hello, I originally posted a question about replacing my fork seals then I found the answer in sticky post right above my question - so I went back to quicly delete my original post. However I cannot seem to find a delete post option. Sorry.

My 81 has 135,000 KM showing. It runs perfect however I have always noticed that the clutch seems to grab or lock a little early when slowly starting from a stop. Today I was stuck in traffic and it was start stop for about 20 minutes. Each time I would roll forward and just as the clutch handle...

I have a 1983 Aspencade that has serious blistering on the flat surfaces of the center luggage bin and the tops of both of the side bins. The sides of the bins are fine. I have sanded down one of the small tops and tried painting but I'm not getting good results. I have done similar repaints...
