Hi back at ya

And how many times have I heard or found out someone's bike won't start because the kill switch is turned on? I sure would hate it if someone took their bike to the dealership/repair place only to find out the 'kill switch' was engaged. As we get older, we tend to forget things or get...

AH YEAH! Why use the kill switch to turn off the bike is BEYOND ME! The KEY IS the KEY!! (I totally agree with BobF!)

Thanks for the info Knob

As Knob said, the caps have been a BIG problem area for quite a few riders. Just follow what Knob has said to do and you should find/fix your problem!

Welcome to our 'special' group, we are the 'select few' that LOVE and ride the Dino. Be VERY careful of her and she will treat you right. (Parts ARE hard to find!!)

I have the Pilot Road 5s on my DN-01 which just so happens to be the 'grandfather' of the NM4. LOVE THEM and they wear GREAT! The GTs are for a heavier bike, like the Goldwing (more for touring). I started out with the PR 4s on my Dino but they don't make them anymore!

Keep the scooter .... more versatile and you can carry MORE. SORRY DN-01 but Tony has needs!

Thank you for the info

Happened to me a few times too .... always when it was on it's side stand and on an incline, probably more than normal. (Seems to be a VERY sensitive sensor. but then again the HFT is QUITE expensive to replace!) The few times that it came on, it took it's sweet time to go out but I ALWAYS...

Thanks for your input Knob, much appreciate it!

Guess I'll just to give Honda at the home office a call then or maybe in Japan. (You know how meticulous the Japanese are.) And isn't it strange that this 'bump' doesn't occur when you use the manual mode for shifting. (Same engine, right!)...

I would be interested in finding out what Honda has to say about the 'bump!' (What causes it) I ran a 2011 NT700VA for many years with the exact same motor and NEVER had a 'bump!'

It seems to me and everyone I have heard from that owns a DN01 is that whenever you 'slow down' at about 50 mph, you get a 'bump' from the tranny ... as it's shifting from 6th to 5th. Am I wrong here or what? What you seem to be describing is a TOTALLY different animal (from the engine itself).

Thought you had fallen off the map ... hadn't heard from ya! Good to know that you can 'see again!'

True but you are right ... 2 faulty bulbs being bad! POSSIBILITY that 'something' is 'frying' the bulbs when you plug them in. Been there! Further T/S maybe necessary IF the bulbs (in the pack) were good to begin with! Keep us posted as to how it goes and IF you are able to solve your dilemma...

Check the voltage to the bulb via the plug that connects power to the bulb. (About 12 volts DC .... voltage there, bulb is BAD!!) Bulb will be hot when voltage is applied and DO NOT TOUCH the bulb with your fingers, oil from your fingers will shorten the life of the bulb .... use a cloth to hold...

Although it's recommended you take your motorcycle to a professional with the correct diagnostic tools, you can read the DTC / fault codes on the DN-01 with the "paperclip trick". Remove the passenger seat by inserting the key into the side key slot located underneath your LEFT BUTT CHEEK...

I agree
