    Best to contact a Honda dealer mate to be sure and safe, or email

    As soon as I saw MVX, I knew you'd be in here bro.

    I cant believe one still goes, putting fork oil in it, instead of trying to find a new rear slug for it is a rarity.


    I thought I felt a crack in the time space continuim.

    was working in sawyers workshop when these where released, to say we had a few warranty claims would be an understatement.....must definitely be a rare beast these days.

    My son did say they didnt have a good reputation.....
    He told me he got it up to 140k on the motorway but it put up such a smoke screen he had to button off so people could see
    exhausts dripping with oil.....needs a good looking at.

    How would you know that bro? I really am having trouble, believing one of these ran long enough to blow a fork seal, OR have the oil degrade to the point of needing a change before.

    PS, if you've got one in the shop, let me know. Would make a great birthday gift for Jimmy.

    If you're interested there's a genuine Honda parts book for sale on Trade Me for the MVX, might come in handy now they are so scarce
