Re: GS850 vs. CB900F

I have an 82  900F and, though I don't ride it especially hard, have
to say that I have had NO problems and am quite happy with the beast.
The stock tires wore out fairly quickly but that's all I've had to do to 
it outside of oil change, swingarm grease, and chain adjustments

A worthwhile tech tip:  There is material available in some auto parts stores
called "silicone dielectric grease."  This stuff is a goop which can be put 
onto connector contacts which then seals over the top of the metal-to-metal
connection.  It prevents corrosion and intermittent contact.  I highly recommend
it for bikes since their wiring tends to be exposed to moisture fairly frequently.  Cars can use it too if you want to take the time to do it.


Happy Riding
