Re: Air filter & plugs - which is best & where from?
cheers guys for the advice. Took all the parts to Honda World - they told me to put them all back, good for another 6,000km or more (which is a year or 2 for me).

Re: Air filter & plugs - which is best & where from?

Re: How to replace the air filter
Thanks Kev - it is an 03 model, so 19 ltr tank.
Another dumb question - but there is no reserve tap or switch?
Just that the other day I ran out of fuel but filled up with only 14ltrs?

Re: How to replace the air filter
thanks guys - sound simple enough, thought there may have been a fuel tap, but could find one & doesn't sound like I need one anyway.
