New to the mini wing

 I recently purchased a 05 FJS 600, weather only granted me a 5 mile ride but even that was a hoot, what a difference from a 1500 Goldwing. This scoot has 8200 miles on it and to make sure of the maintenance I'm going to do a complete change out of fluids belt filters plugs ect. That will put me at 0 on my schedule. I live in the Hocking Hills area of o-HI-o and there is plenty of good riding to take advantage of. I'm looking forward to maintenance info in particular having done everything myself on the 1500 I hope I can do the same on this one. Al

Welcome to the site and congrats on your SWing. There are plenty of 'how-to's' on the site so just look around. Glad you enjoy your new SWing.

Welcome to this site Al. You'll find it's the best SWing site on the Net. Lots of helpful info and members here.

I bought an 08 SWing last year with now just over 19,000 miles on it that had been sitting for two years under a tarp. Changed tires, new battery, oil and filter, rear end oil, plugs look new. I changed the belt this winter and also put in a 26 gram set of Dr Sliders. Now all I have to do is WAIT for MN to warm up a bit so I can take her out and see how the new belt and sliders work.

I do start her up in the garage once in a while and pet her and talk sweet nothings to her to let her know I haven't forgotten her.

Dale,

Does your SWing reply with "You don't send me flowers....anymore"?

No. But I have noticed some "weeping" under the headlight when I'm petting her.

Al welcome to the best Silverwing forum on the web. I lived in N.E. Ohio until 1972 then I came to Florida to visit some friends and decided to stay. There's a few things I miss in Ohio but I've recently found an Amish store here that sells Troyer's Trail Bologna and swiss cheese from the part of Ohio that I lived. So now there's even less that I miss about Ohio. I do wish that I could go back and get my youth, that's one of the big things I left there that I'm sure I could never find again.  
You said you were looking forward to finding maintenance info so here are some links(3 below in blue)that will help you learn a lot about your Silverwing. If you can't find what you need in the links below the search on this forum works good, and if you still need help just ask and someone will do what they can to answer your questions.

Thanks guys appreciate the welcome. model28a that sounds a lot like the Middlefield area

Welcome from a Goldwing-Silver Wing owner too! I have both but really love the little Wing. Took it out for a 40 mile ride today and it is such a joy to ride.

Lots of pictorials on here to help you do things on your scoot! And we are here to help!

I lived in New Philadelphia, just south of Canton. Yaggi cheese house was/is just outside of town. I used to have them ship stuff to me until 2012 when Ohio stopped letting them ship Trail Bologna.
I've found out they can now ship it again. The problem was that Troyer's wasn't FDA inspected but they are now. Troyer's has been in business since 1912 and is still run by the same family.(fourth generation) When I lived in Ohio and hunted deer I would try to have Troyer's process at least one deer every season.  
     
Back on topic. Your Silverwing is barely broken in so you should get many miles out of it. I just upgraded(read replaced) my 08 with an 08 with ABS. The 08 I replaced had 54,400+ miles on it and was still running great and we have a member here that I believe has over 120,000 miles on his. At one time I had a link to someones Silverwing that had 297,000 when it was destroyed in an accident.

Hey oldwingguy from another oldwingguy! You won't have any problem working on the SW it's a lot easier go get under its skin than on the big Wing. Not nearly as many plastic parts either. For a copy of the original Honda service manual you can get one from Helm Inc. They aren't cheap but they are the best. I've always found them to be the best thing I bought for any of my bikes.
