I have recently been thinking about selling my 500 Four K0 but have no real idea as to asking price
Its a USA import K0 and has had a lot of time and money spent on it, main things are
Full stripdown and..............
Rebult engine with new pistons and rings
Repained frame
Refurb carbs from Gerben in Holland
CMSNL replacement exhausts
Replaced chain and sprockets
Replaced clutch
Boyer electronic ignition and micro coils
Replaced rear swing arm bushes
New fron brake lines
Lots of other bits and pieces I dare not add up
All other chrome is original and has some slight pitting but nothing to worry about
This is a nice rebuilt original bike, not concours but in good nick
I have no idea as to worth, I dont want to auction it just prefer to list it with a fixed price
I was thnking of £5,500 but would welcome others thoughts [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Do you insert the pads dry?
I put some high melting point grease around the pads,
See what happens

Obviously take care to keep away from the pads surface

I am asking again as I am fed up with the squeal from my fron brake
I have changed the hoses, fitted EBC pads (and filed a taper around them) and still it howls.
Could it be an issue with the disc rotor itself?
Anyone ever solved this, I Know there have been a number of threads over the years.
Sorry if this is old ground

I went through a nightmare around DS aftermarket gasket set tring to fix an oil leak.
I ended up using the aftermarket O rings along with a proper Honda OEM gasket plus having head skimmed.
As many have said the relative thickness of head gasket and O rings is critical to getting a oil tight seal.

At the end of the day it’s 1 litre in 14 so 7% so reckon will be ok from what I have read.
If it runs bad will drain it off but seems to be running fine. One of the benefits of old tech like ours here is that there no fuel pumps, injectors or catalysts to worry about. Modern vehicles are just less tolerant.
Will be more careful in future.

Went to fill up with 99 juice at end of a run today, tank just on reserve and stupidly got the pumps muddled up and put about a litre of high spec diesel in.
Quickly realise my error and stopped and filled up with 99 E5
Stemmed to run fine on the 10 miles home
Guess it just got well diluted
Lesson learned 😂😂😂

Hi
I just booked for Crich in July can I assume there will be an SOHC area?
How do I notify them I want to be in that area?
Cheers

Well folks
Used some and it’s very good on alloy cases, brings them up way better than solvol and apparently it seals as well so less often polishing
Expensive but very good and goes a long way
Would recommend
