Newby on old silverwing

hi all, i'm Lionel, i'm 37 years old, married with two children. I live in France, on the french Riviera, Cannes.

My Silverwing 600 is '02 and have about 43000 kilometers.

It just take the place of an old Honda Foresight 250.

The Silverwing is greater than my old 250 one ! I'm very statisfied about this.

I'll follow this forum to find hints and tips !

But the first question, my saddle doesn't open a large way is it normal ?

Welcome  lioil. The seat does not raise very far. You can check the seat strut to see if it is fully extended. Also you can type seat strut into the search function (upper left hand corner) to get much more information. There is a wealth of information.

Thx for your fast answer !

And what about the yellowing original front airflow any tips to get it as cristal as it should be ten years before !

 Sounds like the yellow fellow wind screen has to be replaced

No way to put a tint film on to avoid this lemon ?

A film, coating or filter would subtract light passing through the screen, making the screen darker. It would also be very difficult to apply a flat filter to the curved surface.

  

I would just replace it if it is that bad... Good investment

Welcome to the forum. If you need a wider access to under your seat, you could just remove the strut. This would allow you a wider access. Just lean the seat on the windshield.

Welcome and enjoy your Silver Wing!!!:flower:

It would be like trying to polish a turd, just replace the screen there's plenty of replacements available.

Gadget here from the U K Just for info just done a 1000 miles in France
used auto routes 130km and many D roads I kept up with 1200 bandits to above
90 mph at times. I collected all fuel receipts and averaged 60.30 mpg, my wing
is a 2010 it was consistent 150 miles it was down to 1 bar on fuel gauge and took
average of 12 lt so at 13 miles to a lt it may have a range of 175 miles and a few
miles left over
