You are absolutely right, it is hard to find videos on Rune Maintenance. We will give that some consideration. A lift adapter would be nice. I’ll check it out!

What about review did you like?

@@efrenmoran8098 it’s pricey. 48k as seen. Could get less around December

I did stop that (LOL) the speed adjustment on video really brought that out. It is a good bike. I made the tour pack removable and made a video about that.

That can happen. It may be better with two lights on average but definitely won’t fix it all. Thanks for the input.

Not to my knowledge. But if there is something that shows that I would like to see so I can improve.

​​@@MotorcycleAuthority hi great vid. Used it as a guide. I've just changed my tyres to Mich power 6's and fitted them back on the bike. For the 1260 Diavels that's is the procedure I was told about and used it this time.

Good to know, I will try it out.

Tell us more about that. I really do want to know what you mean.

It does have a different sound. Not sure what I would call it. Not quite a squeak but something.

True. I thought of taking those off but the chrome guards are so useful if it tips on side. And I kind of like the spots if needed. Thanks for tip about the antenna. But, I do agree it is sportier (if that’s a word) and much more of a street glide without the chrome guards.

Glad we could help. I hope the repair went well.

I just marked where it needed to be drilled and took off. Sorry, no template.

It is a nice engine. Thanks

I've watched the motorcycle videos, and the Honda Rune looks and sounds right. If you're looking for the silver piece, it might be available from Honda as NOS (new old stock). I managed to order one from a warehouse in Japan, and although it took a couple of weeks, it was well worth the wait. Regarding the paint, most Honda Runes feature a three-stage paint process, which can make repainting more complex and costly. While I’m not entirely certain about the black paint being a three-stage process, it's something to consider. The most cost-effective approach would be to remove the tank and any other parts needing repainting and take them to a paint shop. For the radiator shroud, if a new one is unavailable, a fiberglass shop can repair it effectively. There's a wealth of resources available through the Honda Rune Registry and the Honda Rune Owners Club on Facebook, which can provide invaluable assistance. I frequently check all the Rune forums I can find and use AI to help with searches. This project can be very enjoyable and manageable at your own pace. Lastly, before riding extensively, ensure the tires aren't too hard, as this can reduce traction. Best of luck, and enjoy your Honda Rune! I would love to hear about your experiences on this journey.

Luckily, there are many fans of the Rune and forums to support the owners. Maybe you can learn new skills lol. It’s also possible to find a specialty shop somewhere. I have only had to change oil,filter and tires. Knock on wood. Enjoy it until that time comes.

@@MotorcycleAuthority Thanks. Maybe I can learn new skills if there was anything worth learning new skills for it's this bike. Subscribing and will be check you out.

@@anthonymcinnis6588 with 8k it hasn’t been driven much. Tires make have good tread but might be hard and have reduced traction. Probably change oil and should be good until you need to change air filter. Also, check radiator fluid. And lastly drive it lol. Machines are not built to sit😄

You might also find a better deal on eBay. The wire extension is for the lights on the tour pack. If you don't use the radio or CB antenna, that eliminates an extra step. Some people relocate the antennas to other locations on the bike. I simply used a different radio antenna and placed it under the seat without relocating the CB antenna."

Thank so much. You have a new subscriber

@@MotorcycleAuthority One more... rear speakers? Just disconnect and tuck wires?

@CarnivoreBodybuilding that is what I did. I use my Sena helmet com for music and to connect with other riders. So, don’t use much but it can easily be reconnected if needed.

It has not been a problem when I ride. But, some may prefer a lower noise exhaust and I can understand that.

You don’t have to do but it does make the pistons move easier.

Thank you

Rake (Caster Angle): 32 degrees Trail: 151 mm (5.9 inches)

2011-2017 had double. Pre 2011 and just 2018 had single. Thanks!

You do

I’m glad you’re still happy with it. I felt very good about the bike during the test ride and would recommend. I love to hear what people say (like yourself) that have owned for a while.

Thanks for compliment. I also am a fan of the fairing redesign. I was unaware of the governor, I agree!

I have the 24 regular street glide and I have gone past 110 mph I didn’t hit any limiter

I received the front ballast weight and latest download. Now I’m governed around 108. It’s an improvement.

That’s true, I think the 121 VVT came out in 2023. We’ll see…

I wonder what the service percentages are on these.

I have never tried these. I hope they work out. We will post something after putting more miles on them.

After riding for a while, I've noticed that the tire provides good grip. However, it seems to produce more road noise compared to the previous, more expensive one. Overall, the tire is quite satisfactory for the price. If money is not a concern, you could consider finding another one.

@@MotorcycleAuthority thanks for the update. I'll probably give them a shot.

I did buy one and do service it myself as Honda UK has no idea. If you can work on a Goldwing then the rune is not much more difficult. Example. Rotary air valve a hard part in the UK, exact same part for a 2017 Goldwing just a different part number that any computer will not recognise. Ignition keys another issue, as only one came with the bike. On the Web I found a site called The remote doctor and he got two which I programmed curtesy of you tube.. Rotary air valve cost £480 sterling and two keys cost £40 sterling. Front master cylinder and lever original used part £200 sterling. If you have the passion the bike is a great piece of moving art. My test ride when bike was completed was a very Happy 500 mile test ride to the Isle of Man for the classic TT. Never missed a beat with 35 k on the clock it still cold starts with a coin on the rocker cover. Ride safe and be lucky. From Wales UK.

I’m not sure so would trust anyone else to service it if I had one. My local Honda dealerships are funny about older bikes. One will not touch it is it is older than 2009 and the other goes back to 2004. They also want a fortune for labor ($150). I have had relatively rare bikes, and they didn’t know what to do with them. The zine would be even worse. It would sure be a head turner, though.

@@alanhassall I know what you mean. A lot of trust would have to be in the dealer or shop. I am not familiar with the Zine. That sounds interesting.

Same at the harley dealers in the uk.

That is good to know, thanks!

I've had mine for 12 years.... so yes

@@falconwing1 I'm glad, what color and what number is yours?

It really depends on the comparison. For me it’s medium sized compared the larger Harley’s and the Rune. Even the MotoGuzzi California 1400 seems bigger. By engine size it’s not small but the overall feel seems medium to me. I think that is a compliment to triumph having a 1700 seem like that. So, medium it’s probably not by engine size. lol, thanks for the input.

There are so many places. I get some custom parts on eBay. A few from Amazon. We have a few on our website. Https//:motorcycleauthority.net

Nice, you will love it, I bet! Hopefully, you will get to go on trips soon.

Let us know how it worked out for you.

I like the saying! And yes, there are times when I would like quiet pipes. The baffles come out. I wonder if there is something you can do to them. Or maybe have different (quieter) version.

My friend rode it that is 6’3” no problems. Taller than that I’m not sure.

XDiavel

That’s the spirit 😀

That’s a great find number 22. Those words describe it very well! Keep on riding…

I put the links for Amazon in the description but sometimes they are cheaper on eBay.

The response to whether motorcycle riding can help with depressive and anxiety symptoms is nuanced. On one hand, engaging in motorcycle riding can offer a temporary diversion from personal issues, potentially alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety by providing a sense of distance and clarity regarding one's problems. Riding can be a form of distraction that allows individuals to momentarily detach from their concerns and enjoy the present moment, which might contribute to a short-term improvement in mood and a reduction in anxiety levels. However, on the other hand, it's crucial to understand that motorcycle riding, while therapeutic for some, does not address the root causes of anxiety or depression. Mental health conditions like anxiety and depression often stem from complex interplays of biological, psychological, and environmental factors. Effective treatment usually involves a comprehensive approach, including therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes, tailored to an individual's specific needs. Therefore, while motorcycle riding can be a valuable addition to one's self-care regimen, it should not be viewed as a cure for mental health conditions. In essence, while motorcycle riding can provide temporary relief from symptoms of depression and anxiety, it is not a substitute for professional mental health treatment. Individuals struggling with these conditions are encouraged to seek help from qualified mental health professionals who can offer evidence-based treatments and support.

Honda makes a solid motorcycle and they did not cut any corners on this bike.

@@MotorcycleAuthority had a 78 model cb 750a Loved that old bike

In line 4 cylinder. Great motor

I’d stick with a Goldwing ……a very competent long distance tourer

@@neilurquhart8622 for touring the Goldwing is a good choice. The Rune is not set up that well for long distance. No windshield (or at least no factory shield) and no place for luggage on a factory Rune.

You don't quit riding because you're old. You get old because You quit riding Well, it makes a good slogan anyway. I hope you are able to stay riding.

I get some from www.af1racing.com/ I get a few from dealers and some times on eBay. www.motoguzzi.com/us_EN/dealer-locator/

Thanks, you are right about the flip flops!

Thanks!

Sorry for late reply. Yes, there is a left and right spacer. One on each side.

@@MotorcycleAuthority thank you, figured as much, lost the spacer, but managed to fabricate one, solved !

Great. I think we have all lost something in one of our DYI projects. Enjoy the Ducati
