Did I understood now correctly: AMCQ46's Renthal conversion is made with standard top-yoke? So only changes to the top yoke are 4 holes. Do you have threads in the holes? Then you have bought/tooled two "bottom fitters" for the renthal bar and two "top fitters". Then you have bol...

Sounds like your rectifier is busted. It boils the battery and when the battery is hot, it doesn't give you enough juice to start the engine (short breaks between rides). Your battery is not yet completely busted so when the battery has cooled down (after work, morning) the bike start "almost n...

Here are couple of different ones available, but I think this picture covers the most essential signals:

Price is roughly: Rings: 100€ Honing: 100€ gaskets/seals/100€ bearings and piston bolts and other smaller bits: 100€ add 55€ for each bent or damaged valve. Valve works: 100€ So pretty much everything will cost 100€ each... You might want to add at least 50% for the workshop hours as I got the relat...

How about the fuel efficiency? I would assume a benefits for this mod are: - smaller fuel consumption - No need for re-jetting if making any other changes to the motor/exhaust/fuel and air-intake (could you make a forced air intake system like in SP1/2?) - Easier to setup (powercommander) - bling an...

Thanks Tony.mon. That is good remark. I actually found out the same thing yesterday when I decided to order new bearings. For my surprise, the front and rear piston bearings have different part codes, so they might be different. And as I needed two different colors it was bit work to actually find o...

Now there comes couple of extra questions. Failsafe will be done soon as the engine is back together, but before that: It seems that also other Honda's have the same kind of CCT. CBR1100 CCT looks like it is bit upgraded version of the same system. Would that fit? And is there a difference between f...

Sat navs are good when you need to find specific address. Or you are completely lost. Useless when trying to find your way through Europe and looking for "one certain city". There might be good ones, with easy to use route planning, but I found the satnav really bad for route planning. May...

Is it really necessary to replace the connecting rod bolts? Well, it of course say's so in the workshop manual. And it would possibly be a daft thing not to do. But it surprises me that they are single use only... After all, they should not be under big stress... :?: Another big question is the cam ...

Seems to be German company. I would say they will speak English with 99% probability in any case. Seriously, you need to get to the metric system. :thumbup: The price of those bling-blings seem to be quite ok. So I will get some. I just need to figure out which style I should choose.... Flames, or w...

As I have looked about the shock services, it is actually possible - but it is "hack". So the workshop (or you) need to drill holes etc to change the internals of the shock. However it is possible to change the shock spring. I am doing this at the moment (well, one shock specialist is doin...

Piston rings on place. Tonight I will put the pistons into cylinders... Or depending a bit what the service manual says. And only one f-up done there, and I managed to scratch one of the pistons a bit on the side. Should not be anything serious but it will reduce the lifetime of the piston. But it i...

I couldn't find any explosion pictures of the CCT from the workshop manual or from the forum this far, so I had to do my own. I tried to figure out the CCT, but no luck this far. Possibly because it is tweaked or I don't actually understand what it is supposed to do... As I have understood, it shoul...

Just because it is Friday I would like to quote old American proverb:
If it doesn't work - chrome it!

Wicky: After serious consideration, I would guess walnut. It is difficult to say since the picture is taken bit far away and the furry animal is hiding some of the essential identifying characteristics, but i am quite sure it is walnut. The bolt pictured here seems to be very typical cloud-to-ground...
