Whilst "self isolating" I'll take advantage of the time afforded to praise these 650 Honda models....such impressive reliability. The 650 forum conspicuously void of service related issues, they are far and few between and many of those present have, frankly, been self inflicted via poor repairs/mods, etc.
The usual include (understandable) 4-5 year old failed batteries, mod installation related owner "errors", outdoor storage/rain/ atmospheric related key/lock issues and such.
Almost non-existent are any engine internal, FI, fuel pump, coil/electrical related or ECU type genuine (of the non self induced type) fails.
We've come a long way from the 2-stroke bike constant fouling plugs, ignition point failures from the 70's.
Thank you, Mr. Soichiro Honda for your innovations and vision... and to those that have advanced it further onward.
