Bought a 2002 reflex a couple of months ago. Awesome shape although it had about 30.5k miles.
Changed fuel filter, spark plug, ran sea foam, new air filter. Tire pressure is correct. Runs like a charm. very quiet. changed the oil once and then another week or two. Starts right up. does not miss at all. Idle speed is about 1,400 rpm. I weigh about 260lbs. No other cargo. I commute about 4 miles to work and 4 miles back. and yes a lot of start and stopping at lights. No kmod and all stock.
Could this be the cause of getting around 44 to 45 mpg ?
I would think it would do a bit better. What an I missing?

Could not get needle nose pliers in...spring and the filter in the way.....But I did get a screwdriver and very easily push it counter clockwise....just a little movement then could completely unscrew it the broken piece out..... Now to found a source online that sells the Reflex Oil plug cap.

Changing the oil on my Reflex before taking it around for the holiday weekend. Put the filter and spring on. Hand tightened the oil plug. Turned it a quarter of a turn on the wrench. I hear "Ping" and the plug falls off. Take a wild guess where the rest of it is? Yep still threaded holding the spring and filter in. No clue how to get it out. Local Honda dealer will change me $80 just to look at it before they even touch it. Any ideas?  |

I know I am doing something right.... Every time I do one....I inch up the price. No one has flinched yet....  The Honda Scooter was partially paid for by a couple of pieces. |
