Hey everyone, happy to be here.
I have owned many many hondas for work and now more for pleasure riding.
I'm looking at a like new 400 AT that has a whine in the transmission. Very pronuonced when you slow done. Is this a normal sound for this set up or should I stay away. (The machine only has 430 miles.) I would be grateful for any advice you may have. Thanks.

Welcome to the forums. Personally, I would stay away from the Hondamatic transmission because they can't be repaired and have to be replaced as an assembly when they go bad and they are expensive.
