[QUOTE="RichardS, post: 574697, member: 16908"] ..and Fred W., if someone would give me what I paid for it, I would gladly sell it to them. Yes, bar backs & grip puppies were needed and I expected that. But the wires on the rear bulbs are SOOO short, I can't get the bulbs out of the lens assy!! I kid U not. I tried all 4. Every wire I have had to work on is too short, there is barely room to slice in the accessory connectors. 7 screws to hold on the left side case !??, it only needs 3 (my 1st Honda didn't have any!!). Plus both side case upper panel tabs are 'under' the tank & rear end body work, that's just plain stupid-not to mention hazardous to removing the side panels in 1 piece. This bike is great to ride, but a real cluster F--- to work on, no matter where I have had to work on it. The thousands of plastic pull screws are another pain, not standardize &, easily lost. I have a box full of parts (screws, bolts, brackets) off this bike that it doesn't needed. 10 minutes for the w/s retract?? Maybe on yours, it took me 6 tries x 10 to find it, took me ten to write the several posts just to find it. All the pics I saw didn't look like my bike. As far as the YCCC module, I hit the start button and all I get is a flashing yellow light + SHIFt that blinks & tones. No start, no nothing, but everything else works. So when they fix it, they will do the ignition recall too, and with only 282 miles on it. What's next?? [/QUOTE]
