You are absolutely correct - however the PAIR system was not introduced into Honda motorcycles for another 10 years after the bike in question was...
I'm assuming you typed that yourself which means you still have most of your fingers left - that's a good sign!
Every time I've heard of someone try to remove the Cali emissions they have run into lots of trouble - the bike won't run right. The solution is...
It sounds like there is something wrong with the front. At best the forks are just twisted (common after an accident), at worst the forks are...
Sure man, no problem. PM Sent.
You do not need to replace the valves as the stock ones are very desireable. In fact, they are the same pistons that come in the Ducati 1098 and...
It's very similar.
Sort of. The idea is that the pistons in each bank go up and down simultaneously. Since they are 360 degrees of crankshaft rotation apart you...
I'm not suggesting that it does, but rather that it can. For example, the valves in newer bike's headers help to improve midrange performance....
Yes, absolutely. Edit: Wait, reading this again maybe I misunderstood you. The V&H system is not the preferred way to go. You want to tie the...
The reason you can pair the front two (or the rear two) cylinders together is because they fire at even intervals. In fact, they fire exactly 360...
Has anyone quantified the gains associated with eliminating the "junk"? Sometimes I wonder if that does more harm than good. Oh God, am I really...
Wow, how very optimistic of you Toe! Around here the riding season just got over about six weeks ago and we haven't really even hit winter yet....
The PAIR system is installed on all bikes, not just the CA models. The RC30 parts are fairly hard to come by. I wonder how difficult it...
I think the biggest difference would be the same as comparing to an F - the advance curve is likely not the same. Nor is the rev limit (I'm pretty...
To the best of my knowledge the tach only displays the engine speed (rpm) to the rider. I am not aware that it performs any other functions.
How does this data correlate to the strength of the rods? Hardness really isn't a very good way to look at it. In fact, a higher harness value...
The lifespan would depend on many factors. Just like any other electronic device, temperature, humidity, shock/vibe, etc all play a role. It's...
By his own admission Dave doesn't have much experience with the 500's. I think if he'd seen the damage from inadequate oil flow, as myself and...
Unfortunately the ignition map cannot be reprogrammed as it's permanently "burned in" to the chip. From what others have discovered, the map is...
