I got into big time talk about this long time ago with Honda reps. Sales and Service guys in town directly from Japan when I worked in large PHX dealership. they and Sudco all say KAY-heen OR K-heen. NOT key-hin, or key-in or anything else. Honda owns em so I tend to believe them. Mike

Key-In, is how I've always said it. I'd tend to believe the Sudco and Honda guys though.

A lot easier to say mikuni!

We still argue over Lewpold or Lee a pould.

That is all that matters.

I always heard it pronounced as "Kane" Like candy Cane.

I've been pronouncing it Kee-hin for 25+ years, so even if I've been saying it wrong all this time I'm not about to change my ways now.
