2001-2005 Acura MDX Faulty Transmisisions
As a owner of an 2002 Acura MDX SUV, leased new in 2001, after end of lease, I purchased the vehicle and took out an extended warranty (up 108462 miles) covering powertrain. My uncle also had purchased a 2002 MDX "used" and shortly after purchasing it the transmission went out. Lucky, he had purchased the extended warranty, but his local area Acura dealership would not honor the warranty and perform the replacement, instead a Honda performed the required services to replace the transmission. My uncle warned me there were numerous other customers who had been burden with the cost of replacement without any help from Acura when there is a known manufacturer defect. At 109105 miles, warranty expired at 108462, the vehicle's transmission began to act adnormally, I took it to the dealership where I originally purchased and they informed me that it was the transmission. They phone there Acura warranty representative and told me that they would cover half the cost of the transmission which totalled $4400, my cost $2200. There are far too many MDX past and present owners who have been manipulated by Acura Corporation. The numerous are enormous. Please investigate..Link................

FJR1300AS
This is the machine that has added a new dimension to the sports touring category. In addition to featuring all of the strengths of the award-winning FJR1300A, the FJR1300AS has one additional piece of Yamaha technology that puts it in a class of its own. This advanced technology is YCC-S (Yamaha Chip Controlled – Shift) – and the FJR1300AS is the first production Yamaha to benefit from this electronically-controlled clutchless gear shift system. The beauty of YCC-S is that the rider can change gear either by using their foot or by using a thumb shifter, and in both cases there is no need to operate the clutch. For 2009 the system benefits from improved response of the downshifting operation when the machine is idling – making the latest FJR1300AS the clear choice for serious long-distance sport touring rider.Link............

A turn for the better.
Every movement requires energy, this is why Electric Power Steering only acts when it is needed. To give you more bends per litre, an electric motor is used to assist the steering. However, unlike conventional hydraulic systems, Electric Power Steering is supported by an electric motor which helps to ensure that energy is only used during actual steering manoeuvres. If the steering wheel is kept in a constant position when driving straight ahead or cornering, the electric motor is inactive and therefore does not use any energy.Link........
