Not the most inspiring video to watch this one but it may help others with what to expect in years to come when you take apart the fork assembly. I also added the part number for the headset nut tool as a reference because there was very little on the web to find when I searched. Hope it’s not too dull and best regards
Hello mate, how’s the stone these days? Yes I’m doing a few videos as and when I can. No doubt you’ll recognise this scooter. I’m hoping to crack on with this soon. Spare parts have arrived 👍
Its nice that you are watching my content for a change and not the other way around. I must upload more often. Still thinking about a 50 you know.........
Hi sorry could you do a video test with a yamaha tricity 125? Only if you can sure. I like that scooter and theres really few videos about it. Almost all just short video of introduction. It would be great watching a video which well explain also a bit more things. Sorry for bad English bye
I quite like the idea of minimalist bikes so the vision is of interest, shocked by how corroded it is though at three years old. Was that just road salt and damp garage?
Yes it was but it’s only light surface rust really and you need to understand that in Scotland the weather is much worse in winter than say in England. It never got the chance to dry but it’s not so bad. It would take alot to rust one of these frames through. It ain’t a Vespa after all 😉
Interesting to see the damage salt and water can do to this part of the Vision. Glad the tool worked with very little bother and the problem was fairly easily diagnosed. What do you suggest to avoid this kind of damage for riders that use the bike all year round?
It’s an interesting question that James because my other Vision 110 has seen longer journeys down more country lanes including being over the footboards in floodwater (don’t ask) and lived outside on my drive in all weathers and it doesn’t have the corrosion that this one does. I’m sure that this is a one off with its condition. The garage it lived in was extremely damp and how salt and water got into the headset I really don’t know. Most use ACF50 or similar for an anti corrosion solution. I never have with my other Vision, just a liberal spray of light oil or WD40 over the engine whenever I take the panels off for maintenance or a wipe over with an oily rag. I guess regular maintenance and a clean and lube is a good start.
Thanks for your comments shug. I do use MARIS but only for technical manuals and specs, not for parts. I use one of the well known parts suppliers to source the parts I need. Best regards
Thanks for your comment Lawrence. What exactly was it you didn’t like about the Vision? They improved many things with the Mk2 from 2017 onwards including a bigger front wheel and better forks for comfort and the engine was a complete new unit and tweaked upwards in power. I’m guessing with it being Honda’s cheapest new scooter, it’s not going to be Forza levels of comfort and speed but it does serve a purpose and it does it well. I have commuted nearly 30,000 miles on Vision 110’s now and whilst I have days when I wish it was ‘more’ I remember the air cooled simplicity and the £8.50 a week it costs me to commute 250 miles a week. Good and bad with all machines and very subjective too. Best regards
@@scootyman2974 well one it was a hire scooter 2 mirror kept coming undone sometimes when u ride to u dont really get much pull in them it got compared to a 50cc and above all I tried to get a new tyre for it dont sell them anymore
@@lawrenceadams3139 it sounds like you rode a scooter that had been abused by others previously. Tyres are widely available for all Honda Visions including the original Honda Visions built in the 1980’s. You just have to search the internet matey. Best regards

Good to see you back on your channel mate.

@@scootyman2974 same auld, looking forward to seeing how you get on with the scoot mate.
I recognise that accent, Great video Scooty Man. I think one of my next projects will have to be a bike of some sorts 🙂
Always interesting, thanks for sharing 👍

Good video
Where are these little bikes made I wonder?
They are made in Italy. Same place as my CBF1000 was made.

Really useful,Scootyman. Thanks. I take it there's not a parts book - do you use Maris to get parts numbers?
Thanks for your comments shug. I do use MARIS but only for technical manuals and specs, not for parts. I use one of the well known parts suppliers to source the parts I need.

I had a honda vision 110cc it was horrible to ride
