FJS 600

Honda is a Japanese automobile and motorcycle manufacturing company. Honda introduced it’s first motorcycles and scooters to the United States in the early 1960’s. Honda has become known for building reliable, fuel-efficient bikes and scooters. The Honda FJS 600 is one of the company’s maxi-scooters. A Honda FJS600 service manual will provide the needed technical information, specifications, and know-how to properly maintain the FJS 600 scooter.

Honda has been at the forefront of the maxi-scooter trend for many years. The FJS 600 was introduced in 2001. In the US, the FJS 600 is known as the Silver Wing, a name Honda has used on numerous previous motorcycles, but is now closely associated with the maxi-scooter.

The FJS 600 is powered by a 582 cc fuel-injected V-Twin and uses a CVT transmission for rider ease and comfortable shifting. With nearly 50 horsepower on tap, the FJS 600 is no slouch. It can easily keep up around town and is powerful enough for highway riding, though many riders report minor stability issues near the top of the power band.

The FJS 600 is a big scooter, and Honda took full advantage of the size to produce a ridiculously comfortable cruiser. The wide, plush seat is comfortable for two, while ample storage allows locking of helmets and other items riders don’t want to carry around but can’t leave laying on the seat, either.

Where riders really fall in love with the FJS 600 is when negotiating traffic, city streets, and any other riding situation that demands agility and power, along with really good brakes. The FJS 600 hits the marks. Many riders are genuinely surprised by the low- and mid-speed maneuverability. Linked brakes and optionally available ABS provide firm, controlled stops.

Aftermarket customization is simple with the FJS 600. Many companies offer products from appearance upgrades to exhaust kits and other power adders. The Honda FJS 600 is considered to be one of the most reliable scooters on the road today. Making complex repairs is simple when using a Honda FJS 600 Silver Wing workshop manual.
