Howdy everyone, I figured since we've had a resurgence in interest in the PC800 in the last year and many wonderful new people joining the two wheel Tupperware party, we should post up a collection of links and info that will be useful for you to find what you need quickly. The first and most important is the "search" function that is available on the Messages tab at the Groups.IO iPCRC portal: https://groups.io/g/ipcrc/messages Look in the upper right corner. Type in a few keywords there and you'll find all the messages related to that. I've found a huge treasure trove of information there from 20+ years of PC800 wisdom. If you need to go farther back in the archives than what we have here (it goes back to 2000 here), the old PC800 mailing list that started in 1994 is additionally included here: https://pc800archive.douglasvanbossuyt.com/ (note: nothing going to Groups.IO is being backed up at this point. I haven't gotten together the time to modify the PHP code on the archive site to do that and I haven't wanted to dedicate the funds to have Tim Dearborn who Leland paid to write and maintain the original code to do the work). We have a very large files section on the Groups.IO site that collects files dating back to 2000 and perhaps earlier related to the PC: https://groups.io/g/ipcrc/files There are a *lot* of good technical documents in there that I haven't even discovered yet. We've got a very large photos and albums section on the Groups.IO site with photos going back into the early 2000s: https://groups.io/g/ipcrc/photos It's a bit disorganized thanks to the transfer from Yahoo Groups when they shut down but there is a lot of good info in there. We also have some old databases available here: https://groups.io/g/ipcrc/database that contain a variety of info. I don't think anyone has done anything with the databases in about ten years though. There is Leland's Directory of All Known Honda Pacific Coast Web Sites: https://www.douglasvanbossuyt.com/directory-of-all-known-honda-pacific-coast-pc800-web-sites-in-the-universe/ that I'm maintaining for him while he's on his final Iron Butt ride. Beyond that, there are many PC800-related videos on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pc800 There are many how-to videos that walk you through various maintenance procedures. And if there isn't a video for what you want to do yet, then I suggest you make one and let us know so we can catalog it here. Or if you request it, next time I do that maintenance task on my bike, I'll record what I do so it's available. There also is the big list of links and information that I've built over the years: https://www.douglasvanbossuyt.com/personal/hobbies/motorcycle/honda-pacific-coast-pc800-links-and-information/ I've tried to capture and catalog all the good info I've seen come across the iPCRC and that I've learned the hard way in a decade of PC ownership. We have a variety of manuals and parts files available thanks to Leland's efforts that are now available here: https://www.douglasvanbossuyt.com/honda-pacific-coast-pc800-manuals-and-parts-files/ There is a PDF copy of the manual on the manual's main page which is higher resolution than the JPEGs showing up on the individual pages. That's something I need to investigate with my website to see why the resolution has recently lowered. It didn't used to be that bad. There are a bunch of registries and lists related to the PC800: https://www.douglasvanbossuyt.com/honda-pacific-coast-pc800-registries-and-lists/ And of course there's the big PC800 ride that Leland hosts most years: https://www.douglasvanbossuyt.com/the-great-pacific-coast-highway-pacific-coast-motorcycle-year-2xxx-motorcycle-ride/ I'm maintaining the website while Leland is away but it's still very much his ride that he leads. Does anyone have other websites to add to the list of useful places to look for PC800 information? Cheers, Douglas in Monterey

Howdy all, New Pacific Coast owner here in California. Just picked up a low mileage 1998 on a whim. It’s got some cracks in the plastic but runs great. Appears to have been down more than once, lol, and is missing the handle bar weight for the right side. Just the weight itself. The piece the weight screws into is still visible inside the handlebar. Anyone have one available or know where one can be found? Thanks in advance and cheers!

So it finally happened riding to work laid down the pc on the left side going about 30 in mph. I'm looking for the left side rear view mirror the whole thing. Left side lower protector( the one that covers the crash bars. I've got a white pc800 so that plastic is grey) left step holder cover, left lower cover, left side cover, left exhaust maintenance cover, I think that's it.

OK. I’ve been lurking on this site for a long time now, but I need to get rid of EVERYTHING motorcycle related. (I’m old, broken and simply can’t ride anymore. Walking is hard enough.) I’ve got a 1994 black PC, very well ridden and it looks it but the last time someone checked it ran; a 2010 Honda NT700V in really good condition, because I bought it just before I realized I couldn’t ride any more. It has a LOT of farkles; and a 2006 Honda Reflex scooter. (Thought I was going to ride that, but I guess not.) The Reflex definitely runs, and ALL the bikes were put in running condition but then I realized I couldn’t ride them. In addition, I’ve got a sh*tload of motorcycle stuff I just want to clear out and don’t want to take to the dump. Everything from used helmets (I know, but maybe someone wants to make art out of them; unopened parts from dozens of bikes I’ve owned; tools; stuff I’m not even sure what it is. Oh, and motorcycle clothing and riding accessories. I’m a big girl so they should fit anyone. Pics are hard to come by because they are all jammed under a motorcycle port cover and it’s hard for me to get in there. I’d really like to get rid of EVERYTHING in one sale. So if you want me to try to get some pics or have questions, let me know. Make me a reasonable offer for everything and I’ll probably take you up on it. I am in Roswell, NM, so you can check out the aliens while you’re here.

Not so good news first. It has not been ridden for the last 12 years but has been stored covered in my garage since then. Carb needs a rebuild. Tires were new when I put her into to storage YMMV. 44000 miles, excellent condition, never down, not a scratch on her. Pluses: Corbin saddle Clearview windshield with vent Givi tank trunk Wired for heated gear New in Also have the original saddle, windshield, and backrest -- mchutchens

Hi all, Now that it's cooling off, I'm back in the garage and making improvements on my '90 PC800. I rode it some over summer after work last winter, I should have replaced the carb boots when it was apart. But, life got in the way, had to move and I didn't get to it. I've got carbs off and am looking at the boots - they won't keep a seal and leak. They are super hard and stuck on the engine. Nothing shocking about that. My question: Anyone have any tricks or tips about how to get them off the engine? Sometimes I am a knucklehead and miss a super easy solution. Thanks, ds

My 1990 PC800, 55,000+ miles, stopped dead in its tracks over a year ago. After having it trailered to a local mechanic, who has worked on it in the past, he can still not find the problem. I changed the ECM unit and still no spark. A new battery was installed and no go. I need to bring it back home and am now wondering what should I look for to get it running? - carbs? - fuel system? - wiring/cables? Suggestions/recommendation are welcomed. Worse case scenario for me would be to sell it as a salvage but I would like to get it running again. I am in Goleta, California, between Los Angeles and San Francisco. t 805-696-5749

Hello, I have my 1998 PC for sale. I have another bike that I finally got back on the road and don’t need Ms. Ottowoman any more. Located just south of Charlotte in Sc. Here’s the ad on facebook with pictures and a video. $1900 Thanks, Tony https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1722921778544495 May God look upon you as you walk with Jesus with the Holy Spirit in your heart.

Hey all! I have a 1998 PC800 with about 36k miles. I love commuting to work on him, but he has a quirk that has been cropping up more often that really needs addressing. I've not been able to narrow down the cause, and would be interested to hear if anyone has had this issue and what was done about it. When ready to go, I'll pull the choke all the way out and start him up. He pretty much always turns over without a problem. On good days his revs will move up to around 3k, sometimes a little higher, I'll let him warm for 60 seconds or so depending on outside temperature, then I'll push the choke back in, revs will drop to about 1,200, and we ride off. Gas mileage is good, usually north of 45mpg. On not-so-good days, he'll turn over, but then his revs will either climb to only 2k--or sometimes reach 3k then drop down--and then severely drop to less than 1k after a variable amount of time, maybe a few seconds, maybe 20 to 30 seconds. After this, many times he chugs sadly at 600-800 revs then dies, and refuses to turn over again. Opening the throttle at all kills the meager revs and very often the engine. If I let him sit for a bit after dying (several hours), it's like he resets himself and will get started up, and we go through the process again. (Once, I was able to get him to turn back over after dying, and blipped the throttle in frustration--and it's almost like something unstuck and he was back to a happy 3k revs with the choke pulled out.) Other times he revs back up to 3k after threatening to die, and then we're good--he's never quit after getting warmed up. Adjusting the choke cable earlier or later doesn't seem to influence whether the engine exhibits the behavior. He's had a couple of rounds of Sea Foam in the fuel tank, but I'm reticent to dive into the engine myself without having a decent target of attack. I'm fairly mechanically inclined, but this is my first and only carbureted vehicle and I've not had any EFI car engines act this way. Ring any bells for those with more experience? Appreciate the community, Lindsey

I've been enjoying my PC800 for a few thousand miles but I'm embarrassed to say I've never put it on the center stand. None of my other bikes have a center stand so I'm new at that. Either I'm doing something wrong or you need the strength of a gorilla? I'm about to put her away for the winter. I'd like to put it on the stand so I can change the oil and also have it perched nice and stable during the down season. What am I missing about center stands?

So I have replaced my ujoint and got everything back together but I've noticed now it feels like I'm riding down the street slanted a little the back end of feels like it wants to slip to the right. Also the left side trunk storage has gotten worn through by the tire. Looking at it the tire is not centered. It is further to the left than the right is there anyway to correct this or did I do something wrong when I put it back together ? Btw I have the correct tire on the back.

I recently needed to replace my turn indicator switch and with the new one installed, I noticed the daytime running lights are not on anymore. No I'm wondering whether I accidently picked up a switch from the 97-98 model years (although the self-cancelling is still working) or whether there could be a defect in the wiring. Did all PC800 have the daytime running light function with the indicators or was that dropped at one point? So, I'm wondering whether this could be fixed in any other way or need to find and replace with the 89-96 switch. Any pointer would be helpful. Thanks!
