TYRES ...
1. (minky) .. mitas E09 rear .. xt644 front (e09 rear side-slips)
2. (minky) .. metzeler unicross is more aggressive but not so long-lasting as the e09.
3. (garyboy) .. IRC oem front tyre ... surprisingly good for general 50/50 use
4.
SEAT ...
1.(crofty) - boat on saddle
2.
EXHAUST ...
1. fmf q4?
2. (minkyhead) gpr full system, recommended by minkyhead.
ENGINE ...
1. ULTRA-RELIABLE. B) B) B) B) B)
2. BLOWS UP? :huh:
3. fool-proof oil filter? :sick:
4. cam chain fiasco continues? :unsure:
5. no problems (thumbs)
6. ? ?
CLUTCH ...
1. (minky) p. 35 .. stronger clutch mod
EBC:CK1313 plates, and get rid of small ring and slipper ring, plus Barnett springs 501-45-05050, +housing gasket?,
..(ck1313)= http://bikes.ebcbrakeshop.co.uk/honda-c ... 290559.htm
.. Barnett springs, 501-45-05050 £21 (inc deliv) .. = http://www.moorespeedracing.co.uk/honda ... 05050.html
..
EBC bike brake shop is NOT EBC
the ck1313 kit does not contain the 4 steel plates required for the mod..
so ... need part number
22321kyj902
x4 @£6.17 each FFS = £24.68.
LOWER SUSPENSION
1. (garyboy) .. can lower by drilling 10mm holes @ 19mm c/c to originals (lower monoshock bracket).
works well, but gets stuck in even small ruts as engine too low 20170102_182741 by gary boy, on Flickr
