Not sure how bad it is slipping but mine was slipping some of the time. If it doesn't slip when its warm and only does it when its cold you can usually just go to a lighter weight oil and that helps a ton. In the manual Honda actually recommended pretty light oil for winter temps.

Still a sweet machine..I am going to look at one in Port Huron on the weekend for $500 and it's a blue smoker. I will still probably buy it..'trike rider' the glass is still half full!! Condition looks good..no motor noise!

In fact if you decide not to take it on.. I will probably take it off your hand for what you paid. Provided you can get me title papers as I have to get it back to Sarnia.

Let me know. Doug
