Looks like the corrosion mutants have struck again. Bike has been sitting for several months. When I went to kick it over....locked up tight. I put a breaker bar on the flywheel and it broke free but was stiff. Fearing the cylinder had rusted up,I popped the top and found it clean as whistle and rust free. Worked the crank around back and forth but had a tight spot in it....that is until the water pump shaft broke.
According to the Sevice Honda website....these '85/'86 covers are still available. I know...."why put another cover on there that is prone to corroding" ?
I figure if it took 25 years to get this bad....a new cover will take another 25yrs...by that time I'll be too damn old to ride this thing! LOL
