I will do the tappets at 500 but if you dont think its worth torquing the head that will save me the chance of stripping any rocker bolts .

No it Was the isle of Bute lovely run over The Rest and be Thankful, but Rothesay is one of the places in the UK with Palm trees. Im enjoying the good weather in Scotland I've waited long enough for it.

Thanks for the advice took the bike out today over to the Isle of Bute unfortunately on the news at the moment, but the bike didn't miss a beat I took it gradually up and down 6-6.5 revs covered 200 miles I will build it up over another couple of hundred miles which will only take me a few days I gave it the odd 8.5 for overtaking I also am a believer in not over running in piston rings . I will change the oil and filter at 500 and it is good to go.

I as well had that problem with mine and I have had it with previous bikes with the tube type pins. The problem is when they corrode if you try and drift them out they start to miss form and collapse, I used the saw method but I had a cengar saw with a hacksaw blade on some you have to grind a bit off the blade but not the Honda . The solid type pin is a sensible upgrade as it can be drifted out easy but that shouldn't happen with the type of easy life these bikes are getting now compared to the all year use when they were new. Make sure to clean the inside of the stand tube with emery or scotchbrite and the pin is a smooth fit and remember to grease it.

Well 2 days and not one opinion on running in , so in typical form of being an Engineer I have made up my own so maybe someone will give me an opinion. First 100 miles gently up and down the gears keeping the bike below 5 grand , up a thousand every 50 mile until about 500. , change oil and filter and retorque head , does that sound like a plan.

I've just fitted new pistons and a rebored set of barrels , what is the recommended run in program for this.

Sorted fitted my rebored Barrels and new pistons ,engine is nice and quiet and not a bit of smoke , the ones that were fitted looked as if they had just been machined but they were too loose in the bores may have been a bad machining job.

I have also a cibie I have ordered a couple of different LED's to try if I can get one to fit with the cibie concave lens I will let you know.

It wont fit it hits the glass I took mine off and fitted a standard reflector so I could use the LED, the chinese are catching on these bulbs have went up from £8 last week to £14. One of the other LEDs might work but I haven't tried them.

I think the problem is when people remove the clocks from their bikes they store them upside down and the damping fluid runs out of the damper, this is also evident on some old clocks that the faces are stained with the fluid when they have been stored for a long time upside down.

I think you may be right thinking about it, for me to hone the barrels and refit the old rings doesnt make sense, I have a brand new set of Cruising image piston kits that are the same oversize as my barrels, I think I will order some Honda circlips and gaskets and try fitting them when I get home.

I remember back in the 80's I fitted cast wheels on my four four from a Yamaha xs250 which had a drum at the back and the sprocket from an RD250 fitted and was the right number of teeth, I cant remember if the front wheel was of an RD250 or XS I had to get a few mm machined of of the disk diameter and it worked with the Honda spindle and brake, I think in those days it was for practicality rather than style.

Another thing I used a cheap gasket set from ebay I read somewhere that a faulty head gasket can cause it to burn a bit of oil.
