Hi all
My first post on this forum.
I have just become the proud owner of a 96 blade. My first honda for many years (last one was a 250 super dream) i have been riding ninjas for the past 5 years and thought it was time for a change.
I am hopin this blade will be as reliable as all the press hype as i plan on doing a few miles in europe.
If any one has any tips on how to keep it runnin good and what things might go wrong please let me know. It is currently on 37k miles plastics and paint seem imaculate starts and runs nice. It does seem to have a bit of an engine rattle under load though! and i am not sure if this is normal (might be cam chain) I spect ear plugs will cure it

Let someone sort that rattle and it will be as reliable as a hammer. I've seen Blades with mega milage that still hang with the best. It's a Honda after all!!
