I'm sure someone will point you to the right thread. Keep in mind that most dealers refuse to think outside the box. You might also check the quick reference thread. There might be a fix there. Oh, and welcome to the forum!!! You will find it to be a priceless resource for keeping your CX on the road. 1982 CX500 Custom - ~ 24k miles 1984 Sabre VF700s - ~ 57k miles    Report
