Honda-SOHC

I've contacted the tool provider who supply the same tool to DS. It appears that the supplier for the retainers were the issue. I've been offered some turned down pins as an option for my tool. I will contact DS and see if they can supply a better part. The rear tool is a different design to the front one.

Still got the VFR800 for sale here

On my original 400/4 I zip tied the box on the top frame tube and just clear of the carb bank as there was just enough room for it to sit between the fuel tank tunnel and the frame tube. I thought I'd had a result until one day when giving the bike a handful it topped out at 110mph🙄, (actually it was about 70!). The CDI box had slowly worked it's way back down the frame just enough to interfere with the top of the carbs at full throttle.
I'm 90% sure the Boyer does use a wasted spark Ash👍

Apologies I can’t make it after all have been asked to help out at a police Bikesafe event. Next time.👍

No worries 👍

Do you mean this retainer and tool Ted?



If so, I recently bought the tool and an aftermarket retainer from a different supplier and the tool didn’t fit correctly, as you can see. When I contacted them, they checked their stock and found the new batch of retainers didn’t fit the tool but the original Honda retainers did. They sent me a genuine Honda one as a replacement which was fine. I wonder if DSS has the same issue?
