Just put in a 1" NPT hex plug for lightning quick oilchanges! haha

:-(

Bump......... Approaching year 6 Must be over 3000 miles on it now, just from pushing it around the shop, eh?

That's one way to do it!

As a reminder for those with 5th and 6th gens, the clutch cover is identical between both models, as well as the RC45 (RVF750). Just to help out your Ebay-ing

You're welcome. Be sure your pedals are properly adjusted and the rear brake is not dragging, and the brake light works correctly. Other than that, your hips will thank you.

Oh I didn't know.....carry on then.

Would this help?? http://www.emachineshop.com

Where's that dang PUKE emoticon again....... Oh, here it is!

Good luck! Post pics!

Really really long metric bolts of the same thread, with the heads cut off, make the best install tools for the stator and cover assembly.

Nice!

Thank you Zombie. The exhaust system is surviving nicely. No packing burnout or anything. Cans still look great and the sound is like a proper V-4.

Again, as far as I had checked last, Honda does not release their exact motorcycle paint formulations to aftermarket paint companies like DuPont, PPG, or others to match by referencing the paint code under the seat. Automotive paint, yes, motorcycle paint, no. Partly this is due to how motorcycles and autos are repaired. Dent your 2014 Civic, and the new bumper and fender arrive unpainted at the Honda car dealership, and they paint and install the parts at their own bodyshop owned by the dealership. Dent your 2014 CBR1000, and the fairings arrive prepainted from Japan and are simply swapped at the Honda motorcycle dealership. Also, I had read that the paint formulations they use in Japan for the motorcycles have high levels of lead and VOC's that would not pass EPA regs here in North America. (at least they used to, that may have changed recently) So basically, any paint that you may find here is probably the result of someone scanning a body panel with one of those high-tech scanners, and using the formulation that the scanner spits out. That method may or may not result in a match, depending on numerous factors, not the least of which is the humidity and temperature during painting, air gun pressure, spray pattern, application technique of that particular painter, etc. Short story long, matching existing MC paint is a 'Good Luck Chuck' endeavour.

Nice, I'm jealous.

Cool, nice work.

I would feel better about the JB weld, in this application anyhow.

This one is for a car, but they make them for quads and dirtbikes, basically an inline coolant temp gauge. Splice it into the hose going TO the radiator, and boom, you know your engine temp.

Not a 6th gen tail. It's the 5th gen with a custom exhaust. The only 6th gen part on the bike is the gas tank.
