  1. Never did smoke, have my father to thank for that, explained that smoking would be very bad for my health and well being, if I was caught smoking it would not be the cigarettes that caused the health issues.  Now my father was not that smart of a man, as a youth I never heard him being able to count past 7.

  2. After a couple of scares I feel the need to protect myself with facts, not "he said, you said" thus a need for the "a picture is worth a 1,000 words" defence.  The last issue - twice in the same block, second one I braked hard, swerved, dog smashed into the dash, I lost it.  Their response it was just an accident- No- you were driving with undo care and attention, changing lanes lanes when unsafe to do so! Not an accident, would have been the cause of one.  So any suggestions of a reasonable priced dash camera, with good optics and memory card?  Surprisingly I find this is not as great a problem when driving the big Square Body, but in the VW I seem to be fair game.  Thanks

    Wow! Those prices have increased.  But I'm impressed with the download / upload rates.  Do you have any periods of no service? (out of satellite range?)

    High $, but remember that is in Canadian dollars.  Yes I have had outages, only a few and not for that long, I think one about 15 minutes and a couple of a few minutes. Not sure why? 


  4. Just switched over to Starlink, I have no cell reception and can not get a land line.  Unlimited data; needed to purchase their dish $800, and $144 a month, a bit of an outlay but much better than previous deal.

    Previous supplier - went to watch hockey - in 5 minutes of clock time had 3 minutes and 8 seconds of buffing- cancelled and then Starlink became available here; big improvement and now watching and enjoying the play offs.

  5. Yes, there are poor designs out there, but they all have some common faults.  EG: electrical connections, this one disconnects this way, that one the other way, different ones on the same machine can be different, and if you can't see it, 500% increase in the possibility of breaking it.  And off topic: seat belts; if in a panic situation one might as well be in a straight jacket trying to get out; I feel they should all be standard.

  6. So to follow up, I went to the local Honda dealership to maybe pick one up and just replace it, get it done.  Price before tax $96.00 Can.  Guess that's what BC (British Columbia) means "Bring Cash".  lol

  7. That delete kit looks simple, not too worried about spending a few dollars on it, as I don't have much into it.  I am hoping it can be a keeper, the 350,s still running after 30 years, so thinking this one should outlast me. lol

  8. I do have a meter. lol. just doing a price check.  

    SENSOR, OXYGEN (NGK)
    36531-HR3-A21 
    $64.87
    $63.35

     

    Now this would be about  $80. $ in Can. dollars, then shipping, taxes etc.  I doubt that Honda makes their own sensors, but I could be wrong.  When needing a relay for a Ski-doo a while ago, high price from Ski-doo, but ended up with the same relay from NAPA for a third of the price.  Does this also apply to some Honda electronic parts?  Not that I am cheap- just wait I am; following a great American philosopher  "What you don't spend, you don't need to earn"

    Snow again this morning.

     


  9. Thanks Folks, I will start pricing one out.  The previous owner did a lot of short trips, lower speeds, and should of had an automatic, actually to him it was, I think it was 3rd, other than a complete stop upward on a hill. lol

     

    Been putting it off, about time to get a service manual.

  10. I just got home, got the shot, it is charged up; paid attention to the sequence and it would appear to be 2 long then 3 short and repeating.  Just had an inch of snow last night ensuring the muddy transition period lasts as long as possible, I don't think I have ridden it an hour since I got it, didn't want to keep doing short runs then shutting off, the 350Ds I thought were a much better choice for this.  I wouldn't enjoy a long trip with them as much as I did one time (LOL) thus TRX500, which a friend sold me, said I needed it.  It will be at least 3 weeks before I would be ridding long enough to warm it up.   It is now that transition period, "Quad or Snowmobile".  I am not like some, I avoid the mud.


  11. Just started, I did not notice any particular sequence, leaving soon for town to go get my Covid shot, I will put it on a charger and check again later.  Thanks, this is a start.  I usually putt around on one of my 350Ds, they just run and run only die when out of fuel.


  12. I have a 2019 TRX500FM6 4x4 with power Steering.  The PGM-FI indicator is beginning to flash,  I have had this for less than a year, not a lot of miles on it, I doubt I have driven it 10 miles since getting it. Any suggestions for a fix?  The Owner's Manual  says load it up and take it to the dealer, (!) would probable cost more than I paid for it.  Thanks

    Was not sure where to post, so tried here.
