Hi. Long story short, my bike was rear-ended, the repairs cost around $500. I paid out of pocket and about a week later the other guy's insurance company sent me a check for that amount. However, several days later I also got a check for the same amount from my own insurance company. I'm...

Hello. I was trying to remove the front cowl on my 2014 Honda CB500F. Did everything the shop manual told me to do - removed left middle cowl, disconnected the sub-harness and was about to get on to removing the cowl itself, when I noticed that the sub-harness wire is held in place by something...

Hi. I'm going to change a tire on my Honda CB500F in a couple of days. I've done tire change before, but not on this bike. Steps from service manual look clear enough with one exception, when it says that I need to support brake caliper with something after I take out the wheel. People who have...
