    New Biker, new bike (well to me)

    Hey Guys,

    Just got my first bike, a 96 Hornet 250. Its SUPER fun. Im still a little sloppy with my standing starts but getting better
    But it seems my temp gauge isn't working (it seems to bounce around when i turn my handle bars) is this normal.

    Hi Simon and Welcome to KB,

    I think that your trans-conductor fluid could have leaked out and will need replacing. If you bring it around to the workshop i can change it in a couple days for a KB discount, possibly $300 all up?

    Rest in peace Tony - you will be missed.

    not massivley familiar with your model specifically, get on your knees (youve bought a honda, youll get used to this position soon enough) and have a look under, or just behind the brake lever, there should be a way to adjust it fairly easily, usually a couple of 12mm or so nuts used to lock a threaded section into place.

    youll figure it out.
