2talltim Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 600, 750, or 1100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale-mac Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 It's a 750 aero. Didn't come with owners manual, the lady I bought it from said she didn't get one when she purchased new last year. As far as I can tell she rode it a little and it set in the garage. I know Honda typically calls for 600 mile service, but don't know what is included as I've only ever owned CBRs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 If it were a 600vlx I could tell you all about that thing from top to bottom. When we bought my wife's I did a frame off restor on it. Not that familiar with the 750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Not much to know. Change the oil, check all the nuts and bolts, tires, brakes, etc. Clean and oil the chain and ride it. Should be able to find the owners manual online with a simple google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale-mac Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I've googled for the owners manual but no luck, I'll call my dealer Tuesday and get one coming(service manual too). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 It's 2014, if that owners manual isn't online available for download in a PDF the something is seriously wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Yea, dig around the Honda site. I know kawasaki has the owners available online free. I would be shocked if Honda didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
