• Honda CBR600 Head race bearings

  Steering head bearings are one of these items that you don’t notice there worn out until someone who doesn’t ride your bike points it out to you. Due to the bearings gradually wearing out over time most riders are blissfully unaware that the... Posted Feb 20 2010, 07:44 PM by E2W with | with no comments Filed under: Honda

• Honda DN01 First service

  The first Honda DN01 to come through the shop. These really are a unique bike. The looks alone are a head turner. I purposely parked the DN01 in the shop window and people who normally wouldn’t look in would stop and stare. But it’s not only...

• Honda VTR1000F Firestorm 48K service

  With 50,000k's on the clock this Honda VTR1000F was in desperate need of a service. There were lots of items on this bike that were in a state of neglected or simply worn out. The oil and filter were due a change, the brake fluid was black and well... Posted Nov 30 2009, 07:18 AM by E2W with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Honda

• Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 1st service

  The Honda CBR600RR has been dethroned as my favorite bike of all time. And replacing it is the Honda CBR1000RR. I never really liked the previous model of CBR1000RR. With me not being the tallest person in the world I always felt over stretched and as... Posted Nov 19 2009, 05:32 PM by E2W with | with no comments Filed under: Honda

• Honda VFR800 24k service

  It's been a while since we've had a VFR800 come through the shop. The one that was here this week was a 2000 model in need of a 24,000k service. As I started pulling this one apart I got a memory jog of what a pain in the *** it is to get the... Posted Nov 16 2009, 12:58 PM by E2W with | with no comments Filed under: Honda

• Honda CBF250 valve clearances

  I'm not too sure what it is about the Honda CBF250 but they seem to loose their valve clearances really quickly between services. The past few that have come through the shop have all required shims to be replaced to get the valve clearances back... Posted Oct 14 2009, 01:33 AM by E2W with | with no comments Filed under: Honda

• October's bike of the month - Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade

  I've been thinking of starting a "bike of the month" section featuring some of the exceptional examples of customer's bikes that come through the shop. And to kick it off Octobers bike of the month is this 2006 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade... Posted Oct 14 2009, 12:48 AM by E2W with | with no comments Filed under: Honda

• The 2009 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is boring!

  My Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is boring!!! When an owner of a Fireblade rang me and made this statement I thought to myself "this guys a nutter!" How could anyone say that the CBR1000RR is a boring bike? Great power, great handling, nice to ride... Posted Oct 01 2009, 03:33 PM by E2W with | with no comments Filed under: Honda

• Honda's everywhere!

  I can't believe how many Honda's are coming through the shop lately. Over the past couple of weeks I've seen CBR1000RR Fireblade, VTR1000F Firestorm, CBR900RR Fireblade, CBR1100XX Blackbird, CBR600RR, CBR125, VTR250, @125, Lead 100, CBR250RR...

• Honda VT750 12,000k service

  I'm not too sure why but we don't seem to get too many cruisers through the shop? The one that was in today was a Honda VT750. This one was here for a 12k service and this included a valve clearance check. Due to the VT running a screw and lock...

• Honda VTR1000F front brake caliper modification

  I'm always skeptical of information from the internet on how to hot up motorcycles and scooters but when I was approached and asked to do this mod I thought it might be worth a go. A common complaint from owners of Honda's VTR1000F is the soggy... Posted Aug 04 2009, 11:27 AM by E2W with | with no comments Filed under: Honda

• Honda VTR1000F Firestorm x2

  It's been a week of Honda's this week at Everything Two Wheels. And the other day we had not one Honda VTR1000F Firestorm but two in for work to be done. One was here for a standard 6000k service and the other was here for a set of Michelin Road... Posted Jul 30 2009, 04:06 PM by E2W with | with no comments Filed under: Honda

• Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird

  When the owner of this Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird asked could I take a look at the handling of his bike it became apparent pretty quickly why this one handled so badly. As soon as I pulled away from the shop I knew this bike had major issues. First up... Posted Jul 30 2009, 03:37 PM by E2W with | with no comments Filed under: Honda

• Honda SH300i Screen kit

  Nick's Honda SH300i was back at the shop a week after its 1000k service to have a genuine Honda screen and hand guard kit fitted. The odd thing about this kit is the price. It doesn't matter if you choose the kit with or without the hand guards... Posted Jul 13 2009, 05:06 PM by E2W with | with no comments Filed under: Honda

• Honda SH300i 1st service - second in two days

  Two Honda SH300i's in two days. Servicing a scooter from the top end of the scooter spectrum is very different to working on some of the cheaper end of town stuff. And servicing two of these in two days has been a pleasure. There is a quality in a... Posted Jun 25 2009, 04:43 PM by E2W with | with no comments Filed under: Honda
